SchemeScript - a Scheme editor for Eclipse
by Dominique Boucher 16 Sep '04

16 Sep '04

Hi, I have released an alpha version of my Scheme editor plugin for Eclipse. It is a full-featured editor, with: - parentheses matching (supports [ ] and ( ), highlights mismatches) - configurable syntax coloring - proper automatic indentation (configurable) - mouse-copy (see http://theschemeway.blogspot.com/2004/08/mouse-copy-and-s-expressions.html) - S-expression-based movements and editing (up, down, right, left, swap, selection, etc.) like in Emacs - integration with a REPL (work in progress) - symbol completion (work in progress, the current version mainly completes Kawa Scheme special forms, but this will be made configurable) - Insertion of comments of different types (file header, section, chapter, etc.) It is nowhere near finished. It's a work in progress. But I wanted to make it available right now in order to get some feedback and, hopefully, attract more developers and potential contributors. The plugin can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/schemeway All important key bindings are in the "Scheme Editing" category (menu Window/Preferences, section Workbench/Keys). There is also a "Scheme" section in the preferences. [Note that you can start a REPL directly inside Eclipse, by first defining an external tool (menu Run/External Tools/External Tools), and then launching the tool. The REPL will appear in the Console View. Then go to the Scheme editor, place the cursor right after an S-expression, and press CTRL-ENTER. The expression will then be sent to the interpreter for evaluation. CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER will send the enclosing top-level S-expression.] Part of this work has been sponsored by NuÉcho - www.nuecho.com. Have fun! Dominique Boucher, Ph.D. Lead Developer Nü Écho Inc www.nuecho.com

'meta-paste'
by Guillaume Germain 20 Aoû '04

20 Aoû '04

Hello everyone, being jealous of Guillaume Cartier's Jazz system, I've implemented the "alt-click" functionality of Jazz into Emacs. It probably already existed somewhere with a better name, but I couldn't find it, out of means to describe it to a search engine. I've tentatively called it 'meta-paste' and I bind it to "Alt-Shift-Click" on my system. Hope someone finds this useful, (the other) Guillaume PS- G. Cartier: nice presentation yesterday. Jazz is very cool.

Meeting next week?
by Dominique Boucher 16 Jul '04

16 Jul '04

Hi guys, As you may have noticed on the MSLUG home page, the next planned talk will only be on August 18th. I would like to know how many people would be interested in an informal meeting next week anyway. We could simply meet in a nice place, take more time to know each other, talk about Lisp/Scheme, drink a beer or two ;-), etc. Don't hesitate to suggest a better place than La Maisonnée! I will be there, of course! Dominique Boucher

Hello all, Sorry for my ignorance but I can't see the counter part of dict/Hash in the Scheme tutorials ,which are the best (in my opinion) way of organize my run time changing code .I hate Java also for this lack but I think I miss somthing in the way functional languages manage datas....Light my mind ,please Thanks Paolo
