Re: [Chicken-users] IDE for Beginners

Hi Nathan!

I've been following this thread but haven't had a chance to jump in 
until now.

SLIME support is sort of broken, at best, on newer Emacs. I tried 
getting it limping back along but I think you'll find it lacking.

I wrote a package for Emacs that can be installed via MELPA and other 
Emacs package repositories; IIRC, it is installable with a basic Emacs 
installation via running `M-x package-install` and installing the 
`chicken-scheme` package. This provides auto-complete for core chicken 
and any eggs you have installed, as well as chicken-doc documentation 
provided that you have chicken-doc installed and configured.

At present, I am working on Geiser integration for Chicken Scheme that, 
once completed, will be far superior to what is presently available for 
Chicken on newer Emacs. Keep an eye on this list; once it's done I'll 
send an announcement.
