Question
What is the closest thing to Slime for Scheme?
I do most of my development in Common Lisp, but there are some moments when I want to switch to Scheme (while reading Lisp in Small Pieces, when I want to play with continuations, or when I want to do some scripting in Gauche, for example). In such situations, my main source of discomfort is that I don't have Slime (yes, you may call me an addict).
What is Scheme's closest counterpart to Slime? Specifically, I am most interested in:
- Emacs integration (this point is obvious ;))
- Decent tab completion (ideally, c-w-c-c TAB should expand to call-with-current-continuation). It may be even symbol-table based (ie. it doesn't have to notice a function I defined in a
let
at once). - Function argument hints in the minibuffer (if I have typed
(map |)
(cursor position is indicated by|
)), I'd like to see(map predicate . lists)
in the minibuffer - Sending forms to the interpreter
- Integration with a debugger.
I have ordered the features by descending importance.
My Scheme implementations of choice are:
- MzScheme
- Ikarus
- Gauche
- Bigloo
- Chicken
It would be great if it worked at least with them.
