Scheme Weekly News for 2002-09-23

This is a round-up of news and announcements related to the Scheme programming language, mostly taken from newsgroups, mailing lists and web sites that I'm aware of. Feel free to send me more. The aim is to publish in multiple formats on the web each week, but more on that very soon.

New paper: XML, XPath, XSLT implementations as SXML, SXPath, and SXSLT

The paper briefly describes SXML and SXML tools, and then elaborates a longer, practical example of a real-life SXML application. The paper can serve as a sort of a documentation for the SXML tools. (PDF format link)

Swindle for PLT 202

Swindle is a collection of modules that extend PLT Scheme. The main feature which started this project is a CLOS-like object system based on Tiny-CLOS from Xerox, but there is a lot more -- a generalized Lisp-like `set!' and related functionality, lambda argument &amp;-keywords, a lot of convenient syntaxes etc.

SRFI 37: args-fold: a program argument processor

Draft SRFI for processing command-line arguments. Currently, many implementations provide access to this through an argv structure, but not always in a similar manner.

GNU TeXmacs 1.0.0.17

TeXmacs is a scientific document editor, inspired by both TeX and Emacs, but with an interface in Guile Scheme. This release implements tab-completion for non-structured text, European-style numbering and long articles.

Scribe1.1a

Scribe is a Scheme system for text processing. It looks like a mark-up language like HTML, but is actually a true programming language. New version enables easy CGI execution.

SWIG 1.3.15

Development release of this header file wrapper generator. Languages supported include Guile and MzScheme. This version is mostly bugfixes, but includes enhancements to overloading, template handling and C++ exception handling.

libtour

Generic tournament processing library, for guile. Initial release. Includes a reference client application. Comments from guile-based developers and tournament processing specialists are invited.
