Scheme – Page 17 – Wisdom And Wonder

I would like, or for someone else to, write a plugin for DrScheme that would allow it to easily call out to execute code on any Scheme distribution.
The reason is that DrScheme is a very nice cross-platform editor with great features that you can use on R5RS and R6RS Scheme source code.
The plugin would need to be smart enough to know how to call out to another Scheme executable and disable PLT specific features.
Based on Leppie and Eli’s conversation; it seems possible.
Am I the only one that uses DrScheme for all of my Scheme editing?
I run code on PLT, Ikarus, Ypsilon, and Iron Scheme.

Guile Took Psyntax to Heart

Psyntax is now integrated into the heart of Guile:

For users, the practical implication of this is that syntax-rules and syntax-case are available, all the time. This is a lovely, lovely thing.

Our addiction to addition

Here is a great post about elegance.

Something is elegant if it is two things at once: unusually simple and surprisingly powerful.

That makes me think of Scheme.

Objective-C Bindings for PLT Scheme

Objective-C Bindings for PLT Scheme are included in the most recent release. They are brand new and apparently limited; but they are a start.

New version of PLT is out

PLT 4.2 is out.
The interesting thing is that they cut over some 25,000 lines of C++ over to Scheme in the GUI framework.
