Re: [Chicken-users] Interest in SLIME?

Hello Dan,

 I spent some time today looking into what amount of effort it would
 take to add swank-trace-dialog support to the existing SLIME egg; it
 turns out that it's quite doable, but as I have a slew of projects on
 the go I thought I'd gauge if there's any interest outside of my own
 inquisitiveness for such an enhancement?

I might be interested in this but the times I used slime for chicken it
felt a little 'off'. Don't really remember what parts of it though.
Maybe they are the parts you've been submitting patches for.

I was also looking if I could get some more features into the egg,
for example partial completion.

 Relatedly, I've been submitting patches to fix errors in the SLIME egg
 that have resulted from code rot; so if you're like me and you use the
 bleeding edge of Emacs, it should be known that the SLIME egg is sorta
 usable once again.

thanks for that.

 Does anyone know if eldoc support ever functioned with the SLIME egg?

From the wiki:

Argument hints
start typing an expression (e.g. (call/cc... )) and the argument
list will appear in the minibuffer. Note the function must be
compiled with debug information.

And I can remember it sorta working. But don't take my word for it.

cheers,
Richard
