+
+Geiser is a collection of Emacs major and minor modes that conspire with
+one or more Scheme interpreters to keep the Lisp Machine Spirit alive.
+It draws inspiration (and a bit more) from environments such as Common
+Lisp's Slime, Factor's FUEL, Squeak or Emacs itself, and does its best
+to make Scheme hacking inside Emacs (even more) fun.

+Or, to be precise, what @uref{http://hacks-galore.org/jao, i} consider
+fun. Geiser is thus my humble contribution to the dynamic school of
+expression, and a reaction against what i perceive as a derailment, in
+modern times, of standard Scheme towards the static camp. Because i
+prefer growing and healing to poking at corpses, the continuously
+running Scheme interpreter takes the center of the stage in Geiser. A
+bundle of Elisp shims orchestrates the dialog between the Scheme
+interpreter, Emacs and, ultimately, the schemer, giving her access to
+live metadata. Here's how.
