Hi,
Hello. I am looking for people interested in joining a team of hackers for this weekend's "Hacking Health Hackathon" (http://www.hackinghealth.ca/) in Montreal. I am putting together a team with the> objective of using Gambit, and Gambit REPL on the iPhone, to build a prototype health related application. The organizers are expecting over 150 hackers, and there are prizes to win.
Did you succeed in getting a team together (I couldn't, too late notice), and if yes, what did you build? Alex

Hi,
I decided to go at the last minute. We formed a team with a physician and were able to build a first prototype of a data visualization app for iPad that helps physicians compare different treatments for a given illness. The data comes from a database of a curated list of medical studies. We started the programming saturday morning at 9 and finished at 5pm with a working app. We had an interface designer with us so the app is also gorgeous.
All the code (95% would be more accurate) is written in Gambit and using a remote REPL we were able to develop interactively. We also used macros intensively to generate some code for us. Some of them were provided be Jeffrey Read (thank you Jeff) for FFI to Objective-C generation. This was crucial when we were at the very end trying to tweak the interfaces to the taste of the physician.
It was an amazing experience. We didn't win a prize but we developed, by far, the most advanced app of all the teams in my opinion (only one other team had an iOS app and they that just two very simple screens that we could have done in 10 minutes).
Thank you Marc for giving us access to such a powerful environment. Thank you to all of you in the Gambit community for helping me on this mailing list.

I've worked with medical information systems for over 25 years and what you accomplished in such a short time-frame does sound amazing.
Congratulations, Steve

Any chance to see some screenshots?

May we take a look at those Objective-C macros? (apologies if they are known to every one, I'm not into iPhone dev. ATM) :)

Actually, the development was done on a Mac with a remote REPL running in the iPad for incremental/interactive developement.
I will send some screenshots link to the list for those interested when I get a minute...

So, here's a question about that: can you, or anyone else who has done similar, describe that workflow? Are you able to build up a program by poking at the REPL, and then have that built-up state reified into a compiled binary?
I'm asking about this because I'd like to have a Scheme environment that is similar to this, from Bret Victor's mindblowing talk, "Inventing on Principle" (specifically, starting right after the 18 minute mark):
However, I've never seen any dev environment like this, for Scheme or otherwise. Does SLIME/Swank provide something similar?

Wow. Thanks for sharing this video with us and making me discover the wonderful and inspiring ideas of Bret Victor!
