Any *simple* example appreciated (it's ok to be able to send/get a Lisp expression as the result of a computation, it will be translated into another language, I don't know yet which one).Thanks a lot, it's for a student project...

On the documentation page you will find mention of a Perl programme
pMaxima. You can get the source code, which is quite short and
self-contained from here
http://melusine.eu.org/syracuse/maxima/pmaxima/
If memory serves, it works by forking a parent server and child Maxima
process. The parent does the usual Perl-ish stuff, sends Maxima code to
the Maxima child and reads the output.
