[slime-devel] SLIME talk at the Emacs Conference
by Luke Gorrie 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Howdy! Long time no chat :-) I will give a talk at the Emacs Conference (emacsconf.org, London March 31) called "How to write an Emacs-based IDE like SLIME". The idea is to demo SLIME, explain how its development works, and give some encouragement and practical tips to people who might want to build something similar for other languages. If you have some ideas please fire away :) particularly about things I might easily overlook being as my SLIME know-how is about 10 years old! Cheers, -Luke

[Slime-devel] Fwd: cutting and pasting S-expressions from buffer to REPL (fwd)
by Faheem Mitha 05 Jan '15

05 Jan '15

Hi, I had an earlier wishlist item in 2012, which I wrote to slime-devel about (see my post quoted below). João has kindly implemented this in his SLY project. I was wondering if the SLIME devs would consider adding a similar feature, or just copying João's feature. I'm sure he'll give you all the relevant information. Thank you for your consideraion. Regards, Faheem Mitha ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2014 00:19:17 +0000 From: João Távora <joaotavora(a)gmail.com> To: faheem(a)faheem.info Subject: Fwd: [Slime-devel] cutting and pasting S-expressions from buffer to REPL Hi, I've found this idea useful so I've added the feature that Faheem described to SLY's `sly-mrepl-sync` command. SLY is a fork/clone of SLIME with a cleaner UI and more features. See https://github.com/capitaomorte/sly and read the NEWS.md file at https://github.com/capitaomorte/sly/blob/master/NEWS.md if you're interested.

[slime-devel] cutting and pasting S-expressions from buffer to REPL
by Faheem Mitha 27 Dec '14

Hello everyone, I've recently started using SLIME with SBCl on Debian, where SLIME defaults to using SBCL, at least when it is installed. So far I am very impressed. I haven't been able to take off and fly yet, but I'm on the runway.:-) I'm particularly impressed by the underlining source which has compile errors, and doing a popup on mouseover feature. I don't know whose idea this was, but it is pretty damn cool. Does anyone know the history of this feature? So, I have a question about SLIME. When debugging, or indeed otherwise, I find it useful to copy and paste S-expressions from a buffer to the REPL. I've been using the mouse for this, which is decidedly sub-optimal. I hate using the mouse. I was thinking that it would be handy to have a command which would copy and paste S-expressions from a buffer to the REPL, while at the same time switching the buffer to the REPL. The S-expression would be chosen by having the cusor to the right of the closing expression. I'm not sure if this position has a name. I don't know if this command already exists. I could not find it in the manual. If it doesn't, could someone tell me what code would tell emacs to do this? My knowledge of Emacs programming is non-existent. Please CC me on any reply. Thanks. Regards, Faheem

Oh, the thing is, swank contrib loading is currently all or nothing. So, Fabrice probably doesn't want slime-presentation-streams specifically, and I had assumed it was needed by the more basic slime-presentations contrib, which it's not. So, the first step is to disable this dangerous patching. (Done and pushed to SLIME's repo.) Then, we can look into re-enable this functionality using the clean approach outlined above. Opened https://github.com/slime/slime/issues/213 to track that. Patches welcome, yada yada. :-) Thanks Stas! -- Luís Oliveira http://kerno.org/~luis/
