@top Geiser

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.

@cindex derailment
@cindex corpses
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.
