Yes, you could use it that way. You can set up either server or client
sockets. It currently only passes strings over the connections, but you
can always use parse() then eval() to evaluate them. 


You might also be able to replace the input and output code in
src/unix/system.c or the event loop in src/windows/wincons.c
