Author scheme as a script engine
juman

2004-05-12, 9:12 pm

I am fooling around a bit with an idea of using Scheme as the script
engine for a personal database manager. The idea is for it to be a bit
similair to M$ Access Database but instead being able to run completly
in console mode and use Scheme for easy setup of database structure and
control as well as providing a way to customize entry forms.
Unforunately I am not a Scheme guru but I like it's slimmed language
and think it could suite the purpose. Now for me to get more ideas I am
looking for other software that uses Scheme for similair things. And so
far I have found Gimp and Emacs (of course) but do you know any other
projects out there?

Cheers,

juman

The Scheme slimness and clarity inspired me too. I have embedded
MzScheme in the Vim editor :) http://iamphet.nm.ru/scheme

Excellent! The next step is to build an emacs mode in vi. How about it?
