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 @cindex philosophy Or, to be precise, what @uref{https://jao.io, 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. @c Local Variables: @c mode: texinfo @c TeX-master: geiser @c End:
