  I call it Silas -- Superior Interactive Lisp Activity for Sugar. It basically spawns a Lisp and talks to it via pipes or (eventually) SWANK. The focus is on Scheme but if you wanted to use, say, SBCL that's certainly possible. You will be able develop code in the top window and talk to Lisp in the bottom window. You will be able to command Lisp to evaluate the current sexpr, the current selection, or the entire buffer contents of the top window; and save your code in a module, and it will keep track of all the modules you've written and let you import them into Scheme in your code or in interaction. This is really just a first step: what I'd like to write is a "Lisp machine" activity, where everything from handling the display to file I/O and interacting with the rest of Sugar is done from within the running Lisp.
