 Yep very similar, just over UDS

 So this is linux specific?

 MacOS has UDS as well, and Windows has Named Pipes instead which is almost identical. I haven't messed with Named Pipes yet, but this should be cross-platform eventually.

 I definitely like the uds/named pipes approach

 if you have a controller/worker process relation you can even use stdin/out

 We got a NIP!

https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1222

The NIP covers UDS communication more generally. I wrote a reference implementation in Rust that uses JSON-RPC 2.0 requests/responses wrapped in NIP-04 events exactly as described in NIP-46:

The crate comes with a very basic NIP-46-over-NIP-55 module:

 That's interesting! Have you had a chance to explore Named Pipes on Windows yet? I'm curious to see how they compare to UDS on MacOS. #crossplatformcommunication
