So you were! I apologize for my oversight.

That's the idea! I think CLIPS is a good framework for a generic run-loop (or `while` loop). If you can conceptualize your app as such, you can reap the benefits inherent in the rete algorithm within your application logic.

To see what I mean, take a look at the tcp server in the CLIPSockets repo: https://github.com/mrryanjohnston/CLIPSockets/blob/6.4.1/exa...

UPDATE: I edited the link to point to the 6.4.1 tag version of the repo. The `main` branch is using the latest (7.x) from CLIPS svn as the base.

UPDATE2: I edited my previous comment to specify that it is a tcp server, not an http server.
