Scheme Weekly News for 2002-12-16

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.

Guile 1.6.1

Maintenance release of the GNU Unified Interface Language for Enhancements, a Scheme language for GNU software. This release fixes the Emacs interface, installs SRFI C headers, uses an enhanced libtool and introduces support for "effective versions" so that new stable series releases should not require unnecessary rewrites of contributed code.

Draft SRFI-38: External Representation for Data With Shared Structure

Comment is requested on this new Scheme Request For Implementation document.

SISC is a Java Scheme interpreter with some innovative features and straight-line speed. This version rearchitects SISC's continutation capture algorithms and fixes problems in the quantity library and object retention. Early appearance of the SISC Object System, similar to MIT Scheme's SOS. Future versions will include more optimisations and "more polish".

Quack.el 0.16

Quack is an Emacs mode for better Scheme editing, based on past work. This version now calls blink-paren-function when quack-insert-closing is used, adds some PLTish font-lock keywords and uses the PLT 202 manuals.

MoshiMoshi is a WikiWikiWeb tool written with PLT-Scheme. This release ports the code to run on v20x versions of PLT-Scheme and includes some usability improvements.
