MCLIDE - Lisp IDE for Macintosh

• akkartik 17y ago
  Again (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=972462 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=972462), there's no mention of PLT scheme. I've been noticing this lately to understand why it took me so long to notice mzscheme. I kinda was aware of it, but I didn't really focus on it until arc came out. It's a weird blindspot..

    Why should there be a mention of PLT Scheme?
    • akkartik 17y ago
      Because the lists of toolkits verified to work with, may work partially with, and does not yet work with include other major scheme implementations.

  Anyone tried this? In the 1980s, the Coral Common Lisp system (precursor to Macintosh Common Lisp, which this IDE is derived from) was a gift from heaven. It was so good that after I ported the ISI Grapher to CCL, I immediately gave my old Lisp Machine to someone else at SAIC who wanted it. I'm downloading MCLIDE now, but it would be good to hear some reviews before I take the time to set it up. For me the issue is that Emacs + either SLIME or the Scheme minor mode is very good for development.

    I just tried it with Clozure CL. Seems to work fine, but I am going to stick with Emacs+SLIME with colored fonts, etc.

      MCLIDE does support Color Coded Styling (see the plug-in in the bundle contents).
    • mark_l_watson 17y ago
      My mistake, there is a plugin for colored/styled fonts. Also, as someone kindly pointed out in an email: http://www.clairvaux.org/ColorCoded.html http://www.clairvaux.org/ColorCoded.html

  I've been going thru SICP with Gambit. Wouldn't mind an alternative to Emacs at all, if/when this supports Gambit...
