daemon based async-start to preserve state #89

Open codygman opened 6 years ago

To enable session functionality such as that requested by astahlman/ob-async#1.

I'm thinking that enabling named emacs daemons could be a solution that enables the issue above and is general enough for other applications where state needs to be maintained and async is preferred.

This sounds like both a great idea, and a frightening horror, all at once. ;)

Actually your comment made me realize its not complex enough because sessions would be synchronous.

I would need sessions to be made like: sessionName-UUID...

Actually oh dear... I'm not sure that would work. Will come back to this again later.
