1 Geiser is a collection of Emacs major and minor modes that conspire with 2 one or more Scheme interpreters to keep the Lisp Machine Spirit alive. 3 It draws inspiration (and a bit more) from environments such as Common 4 Lisp's Slime, Factor's FUEL, Squeak or Emacs itself, and does its best 5 to make Scheme hacking inside Emacs (even more) fun. 6 7 @cindex derailment 8 @cindex corpses 9 @cindex philosophy 10 Or, to be precise, what @uref{https://jao.io, i} consider 11 fun. Geiser is thus my humble contribution to the dynamic school of 12 expression, and a reaction against what i perceive as a derailment, in 13 modern times, of standard Scheme towards the static camp. Because i 14 prefer growing and healing to poking at corpses, the continuously 15 running Scheme interpreter takes the center of the stage in Geiser. A 16 bundle of Elisp shims orchestrates the dialog between the Scheme 17 interpreter, Emacs and, ultimately, the schemer, giving her access to 18 live metadata. Here's how. 19 20 @c Local Variables: 21 @c mode: texinfo 22 @c TeX-master: geiser 23 @c End:
