(synopsis "Collection of Emacs modes for Guile and Racket hacking")
(description
- "Geiser is a collection of Emacs major and minor modes that
-conspire with one or more Scheme interpreters to keep the Lisp Machine
-Spirit alive. It draws inspiration (and a bit more) from environments
-such as Common Lisp’s Slime, Factor’s FUEL, Squeak or Emacs itself, and
-does its best to make Scheme hacking inside Emacs (even more) fun.
-
-Or, to be precise, what i consider fun. Geiser is thus my humble
-contribution to the dynamic school of expression, and a reaction against
-what i perceive as a derailment, in modern times, of standard Scheme
-towards the static camp. Because i prefer growing and healing to poking
-at corpses, the continuously running Scheme interpreter takes the center
-of the stage in Geiser. A bundle of Elisp shims orchestrates the dialog
-between the Scheme interpreter, Emacs and, ultimately, the schemer,
-giving her access to live metadata.")
