Fresh on ELPA: Chicken 5 support in Geiser. Geiser is an enhanced Emacs mode
for interacting with various Schemes.
Completion suggestions, eldoc support, region and buffer evaluation, and symbol
evaluation all appear to work well; most are considerably faster thanks to some
reworking of their behaviour. Geiser's features with respect to switching
modules and module namespaces are not available to Chicken 5, yet; I opted to
withold porting those forward for now as that behaviour relied upon ## internal
behaviour to operate under Chicken 4, and was rather brittle.
If you use use-package installation is easy:
(use-package geiser)
You'll need a few additional packages for Chicken:
chicken-install srfi-1 srfi-18 apropos
I strongly recommend using Geiser in companion with dumb-jump; I added Scheme
support to it some time ago, and so it now provides a reasonably good
jump-to-definition and find-references for Scheme projects of most any size.
Happy hacking!
