Hi all,
I am a new gambit user. I am working through some scheme texts and gambit fits the bill nicely. I am curious as to how most folks develop in gambit. Do you use a terminal and text editor, emacs, or what? So far, I have been using terminal and kate, but it would be nice to have some integration. I was thinking along the lines of what a primitive ide provides where you edit your whatever.scm and then execute it or parts of it on demand from the editor.
I'm a vi guy, so I don't know much about emacs, but folks seem to like that environment, especially when it comes to lisp, et. al. If you're using emacs, and think that's the way to go, please give me a clue where to start. I can M-x run-scheme and it pulls up gambit in a scheme inferior mode (whatever that is) and it'll let me run gambit in the window, but that doesn't seem any more useful than doing it in terminal.
My current .emacs contains the single line: (load (expand-file-name "~/gambit.el"))
where the gambit.el file came from the source I used to build gambit.
If you don't think emacs is the way to go, what do you use? :).
Thanks,
Will

Hi Will,
I use Doom Emacs with vi key bindings (and some Emacs bindings as well). I do not use the gambit.el package, just some terminals outside of Emacs. This works well for my use-case but I should maybe start using proper gambit.el integration...
