  • dumb-jump

    an Emacs "jump to definition" package for 50+ languages

  • FWIW, I am a capable developer, I use emacs, but not in a way that is different from the way I use Python with emacs. The only thing missing with Scheme is jump-to-definition but that can be worked on with https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump, or a regular grep. What LSP server features do you use the most for other programming language? With scheme I mostly rely on the procedure index, and the R7RS library taken from SRFI process I put together.

  • ChezScheme

    Chez Scheme

  • That is not happenning anytime soon, see https://github.com/cisco/ChezScheme/issues/574; And even without getting a clear green go from big schemers. Getting together a common C FFI Domain Specific Language, and implementing that for the Scheme that are nowadays popular or in-use will advance the subject. See https://github.com/ktakashi/r6rs-pffi. I will not hold my breath.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
