Hi, I just joined up because I'm going to use Chicken. I started with
PLT but dropped it because it doesn't have a debugger. I moved to
Gambit, but it has strange macros and doesn't have all the libraries I
need, so I'm trying Chicken.
I'm astounded that none of the public schemes out there have a visual
debugger. (I know, some people say scheme doesn't need a debugger, but I
don't believe it; its a dynamic language, debugging should be *easy*).
My plan is to hook up some scheme system to the powerful Eclipse
debugging framework. This should be doable in a week or two, if the
language has the right hooks. See
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Debugger/how-to.html
This will be combined with the SchemeWay plugin.
I am curious if people have thought about adding debugging capabilities
to Chicken, along the lines of what is in Gambit. It seems like most of
the hooks are there. Am i missing something?
Is anybody else interested in helping out? Is this the right email list
to discuss this topic?
William
