"Hidden" shell mode for chuck server could be used for IPC

"chuck --shell" runs ChucK and leave you at a "chuck %>" prompt. "+ chuck.ck" does exactly what one would expect - plays the file.
awesome! ..where did you find this?
It's actually "documented", but like so much with ChucK, you have to read between the lines extremely carefully. http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/doc/program/vm.html
Both "--shell" and "--server" are listed there, along with a number of other interesting things, BUT, again, as usual with ChucK, there's no mention of what these things DO. I just screwed around with "shell" a bit to see what it does...
Right, I see it now! I think we'll have this working ( add shred, replace, drop ) in a short space of time!
I started (doesn't work yet) https://gist.github.com/zeffii/7410984 earlier today, this abstracts away the sublime plugin architecture part. The difference between py2 and py3 is very minimal, the issue is going to be threading.
It's going to happen.
Awesome.
