Hello Xindicers,
I'm a non-regular user of Xindice, but I asked myself if anyone ever
made a scheme interface to it.
If not so, I'd strongly suggest (and would be willing to help with the
implementation of) such an interface.
For those who are not familar with scheme: it is a functional (or
algorithmic - or: based on lambda calculus, strictly evaluating)
scripting language that is in wide use in teaching and practice. Parts
of the Gimp are written in scheme.
I'd see following advantages:
- client side scheme scripting
easy interfacing and manipulation of data. There are Widget-Sets for
Scheme, and it interfaces fine with C and other languages. There are
Editors written in Scheme.
- server side scheme scripting (another thing to think about - static
scheme scripts compile well to other languages) scheme would help
a) xexprs
b) implementation of transformers
Any comments on this?
