I had an idea for extending #uxn5 to allow programs to communicate: implement the Console device as a simple RESTful API (or similar) on a webserver, POSTing output when available and periodically GETting input (maybe have a session number allowing multiple "conversations" between different #uxn programs). Ideally, build the serverside code in #RedBean so that it works on any platform! #uxn11 and #SDL uxn could be integrated in with a bit of a massage using #cURL!

@ddlyh @aw @nf is there a program that you have in mind that would use that?

I had one idea a while back, but allowing for simple networking through the Console (limited to a single server, so probably just on a LAN) allows for lots more applications without changing the #uxn standard itself!
