Hello, [Sorry if this arrives twice, gmail somehow base64-encoded the last version.]
thanks for the helpful pointers; guile-debugging, guile-vm and the compilation discussion all look quite interesting. The hobbit topic feels a little scary though, and I'm not sure I want to try that before I've got a little more experience under my belt. I was able to take guile-debugging for a spin, it's great, and I agree that it makes more sense to complete it than to port swank (the lisp server side of slime). I'm not sure where one would start though -- the open bugs' summaries are maybe less descriptive than they might be ;) [Hm. Does it complete names of modules found on guile's load-path?] Guile-VM also sounds neat, but I was neither able to compile the code from CVS head nor to fetch the revival code from Ludovics arch repo, which makes it even harder to devise a plan of action. Judging from the mail thread about its revival, completing the translation from Scheme to Ghil and/or from Glil to assembly might be good candidates. Another might be comparison with "similar" VMs and ILs (the thread mentions STklos; s48s "PreScheme" also comes to mind). [Except PreScheme isn't an IL; it's compiled to C but AFAIK not from Scheme. Might still be worth a look.] So... I'm willing to help -- is this roughly the right track? Cheers, Martin
