Scheme Weekly News for 2003-02-03
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.
scsh is a shell written in Scheme, and then more, allowing systems-level programming on POSIX and Microsoft Windows systems from Scheme. This version adds an interface to the MD5 library, starts more quickly and is distributed with a smaller heap image (by stripping it). Support for SRFI 25, 26, 27, 28, and 30 has been added and interfaces to non-blocking IO and select improved.
SISC is a Java-based interpreter of Scheme that supports a range of extra features, but also contains all of R5RS Scheme. This release bugfixes the new continuation capture system, circularity detection and circular structure parsing.
LAML is a Scheme-based software package for programming and authoring of complex web material, and for CGI programming, usable from most Scheme implementations. The major feature of version 19 is XML-in-LAML.
This SRFI entered final status. It covers processing of program arguments through a standard interface across implementations.
This SRFI entered draft status. It may enter final after 3 April. It covers stream processing and discussion is invited on the srfi-40 mailing list.
ReadScheme Library Expands Again
Four more documents were added to the ReadScheme online bibliography in January, including two from PADL03.
GNU TeXmacs is a scientific document editor inspired by Emacs and LaTeX, based on GNU Guile. This version is the first release of the 1.0.1 series to be announced here and contains many changes since the 1.0.0 series.
There is a Scheme UK meeting scheduled in London for Wednesday 5 Feb 2003. Maybe see some of you there.
Quack is an Emacs support package for developing Scheme programs. It is layered upon cmuscheme.el and scheme.el. This version adds "light" and "dark" default faces and splits out the w3m support, amongst other things.
The Guile GTK Homepage has moved to Savannah. The project offers bindings for the common GTK toolkit to be used from the Guile implementation. There are series for both 1.2 and 2.0 GTK versions.
This is a maintenance release of the GNU Scheme implementation. It fixes some problems with the 1.6.2 distribution tarball. 1.6.2 fixed some syntax-case bugs and improved GOOPS a little.
Scheme Scribe (Scribe hereafter) is a text processor. It best suits the writing of technical documents such as web pages or technical reports, API documentations, etc. It looks like markup, so there is no need to know programming.
Swindle is a collection of modules that extend PLT Scheme with many additional features, including a CLOS-like OO system and some syntax extensions.
