Well, I got started. I'm calling my module SLIMPL: Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Perl. So far I have 75 lines of a Perl module that doesn't do much more than open a socket to Swank. WooHoo. ;) When I have enough code that I can actually connect to Swank, send a Lisp expression, and get back the result, I'll post it. (Don't look for anything before Christmas.) Note: I will ignore Vim for the moment. When we do start the Vim part, I propose the name of SLIM-Vim. Oh the other hand, then #1 on the FAQ list will be "Is SLIM-Vim a stripped down version of Vim?" Maybe we should step away from derivatives of the "SLIME" acronym and merely allude to it. Perhaps call it "Venkman" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087332/quotes#qt0124025). But a Javascript debugger project also uses that name. Oh well. Cross that bridge when we get to it. :) Anyway, feel free to ask for updates on this list or in private email. Queries = interest; interest => motivation. -- Larry _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
