[Maxima-discuss] How can I call Maxima functions from a language different from Common Lisp? (FFI or server/client, doesn't matter)

[Jeronimo P. <j_...@al...>]

Hello,

I would like to integrate Maxima in some other software I've been 
working on, but I couldn't find in the manual how to do this. I
suppose that since Maxima is written in Common Lisp, it would be
difficult to call it directly via FFI, but I was wondering if
it's possible to have a Maxima server listening over some TCP
port, and speaking some protocol.

Is  this possible? I would guess so, since Slime seems to do
that. If it is possible, where is it documented?

Thank you!
Jeronimo
