I presumed you've have issues with not having gnome-python-extras and gnome-python, pygtk etc.

No, and no.

Nah, if you want to do that, you change the gnome code editor's preferences globally, there should be a gnome configuration file or utility for it somewhere.

I like jumping to the hyperspec docs for the function under point etc. Have you seen Marco Baringer's slime movie? Worth a watch http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/doc/slime.torrent

It was the movie that made slime installation look difficult. Granted, it might look a lot easier if they weren't trying to set up an ssh tunnel for it, but *shrug*

>>I agree, it's not a general purpose language and typing has gotchas compared to strongly typed (but dynamic) modern lisps, but I think it makes a good embedded scripting language. The rich API helps - if you want to create a function that moves text around, rewrites as you type (eg closing parens or something more complicated) it's a matter of calling existing hooks.

Yes, but even some rudimentary functions become *impossible* to make due to this, including the first function I tried to write in elisp (no, i can't remember what it was)

What is wrong here.

scheme Code:

Original - scheme Code
(define size 10) (if( < size 20) (display size) (display "hmm") )

(define size 10)
(if( < size 20)
   (display size) 
   (display "hmm")
)

I'm just testing things out.

(display "\n")

When you get onto string handling you'll make it much more efficient, so don't worry about it.
