Emacs/guile
location Guile Emacs (Kei's code only)
category Applications/Editors
description Modifying GNU Emacs to use Guile.
status We're working in two areas currently, and should eventually meet somewhere in the middle: <p> Ken is working on changing Emacs (using non-released FSF sources currently, sorry -- this was probably a mistake and should change after Emacs 21 comes out) to make Emacs use Guile objects (but not run Scheme code yet) internally at the lowest levels -- object representation, storage allocation, garbage collection, etc. This will allow most object types to be shared between Scheme and Lisp without having to translate. </p> <p> Kei is working on adding the ability to use Guile to program Emacs and access the Lisp system from the higher level, including a Scheme interaction mode. Version 0.3 was released in March 2000. </p> <p> Items left to investigate in the future: Translation of Emacs Lisp and bytecodes to Scheme. Replace existing Lisp evaluator. Make Emacs objects into a library for use by other projects. Performance work (definitely!). Thread support (fetch mail and news while editing files!). Rewriting the Emacs UI using existing Guile UI code (e.g., GTk). </p>

TeXmacs
location The TeXmacs homepage
category Applications/Editors
description TeXmacs is a free what-you-see-is-what-you-get scientific text editor, which was both inspired by TeX and Emacs. It is also possible to use TeXmacs as an interface to computer algebra systems. TeXmacs actually runs on PC's under Linux (a >200MHz processor and >32Mb of memory are recommended) and on sun computers. The program implements high quality typesetting using TeX fonts, but it is also provides a user friendly interface. The high typesetting quality also goes through for automatically generated formulas; this makes TeXmacs suitable as an interface for computer algebra systems. Finally, TeXmacs support Guile/Scheme as an extension language, which makes it possible to adapt the user interface to specific needs and even to extend the editor. Currently, the editor is more or less compatible with the TeX system and we are working on the interface with computer algebra systems. Subsequently, TeXmacs should also support graphics and some hypertext features.
