[Ann] Next meeting of the MSLUG
by Dominique Boucher 24 Sep '05

24 Sep '05

The next meeting of the Montreal Scheme/Lisp User Group will be on Wednesday, September 28th. Talk: Writing Emacs modes by Stefan Monnier. I am going to present a kind of tutorial on how to write a major mode in Emacs. I will start with the basic steps to create a new major mode, discuss some of the coding conventions including what not to do, describe the development environment, and dig deeper into the less trivial aspects such as automatic indentation and interaction with an "inferior" process. I will also talk about some "open" problems, such as highlighting of multi-line constructs. Stefan is an adjunct professor at the Université de Montréal and an Emacs contributor and maintainer. Don't miss that talk! More details on the Web page: http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~boucherd/mslug/mslug-home-en.html Dominique Boucher Montreal Scheme/Lisp User Group

Why should I prefere SchemeScript to emacs scheme mode?

[Ann] SchemeScript 1.0.0 released!
by Dominique Boucher 07 Sep '05

07 Sep '05

I'm pleased to announce the availability of SchemeScript 1.0.0, a full-featured Scheme editor for the Eclipse environment. http://schemeway.sourceforge.net Although it has many features that are Kawa-specific, it can be used to interact with any Scheme interpreter. It is especially targetted at Scheme developers who also have to work in Java in the Eclipse environment and don't want to switch between Eclipse and [X]Emacs. SchemeScript provides the following features: * customizable syntax coloring; * correct, customizable, automatic indentation; * S-expressions-based editing à la Emacs; * parentheses matching and highlighting (with support for square brackets); * mouse-copy; * content assist (code completion, text hovers, context information); * Find Definition (pressing F12 on a symbol will jump to the symbol's definition, if it is defined globally); * header/chapter/section style comment insertion, with the outline view showing the document structure; and * generic integration with any Scheme interpreter * a Kawa scratchpad view for testing graphical components interactively (see the documentation for more details and the examples subdirectory) * access to the Kawa interpreter embedded in Eclipse (can be used to interact with the Eclipse infrastructure) * and lots more... SchemeScript is used by a number of professional developers and at a some universities for introductory courses using Scheme. Dominique Boucher The SchemeWay Project

Virtual Presentation
by Yannick Gingras 30 Jul '05

30 Jul '05

We didn't have a meeting for July but fortunately a few virtual presentations are available for your viewing pleasure. Those who read Planet Lisp probably already know about those. In no particular order: - A demo of SLIME, a Common Lisp interaction mode for emacs by Marco Baringer: http://common-lisp.net/movies/slime.torrent - A demo of UCW, a web application package for Common Lisp by Marco Baringer: http://common-lisp.net/project/ucw/docs/hello-world.torrent - A fractal zooming movie made with Common Lisp by David Steuber: http://www.david-steuber.com/Lisp/mset/xenos-xoom/ (yes, I borrowed the idea from him) - A demo showing the development of a domain specific language in Common Lisp by Rainer Joswig: http://www.xach.com/bt/dsl-in-lisp.mov.torrent - A few demos of the Symbolic Lisp Machines by Rainer Joswig. Those are really good! Unfortunately some of the links are dead: http://www.cliki.net/Lisp_Machine_Videos The .torrent files are Bittorrent files, just download them and open them with Bittorrent: http://www.bittorrent.com/ Enjoy! -- Yannick Gingras Math Student, UQAM
