:title "Guile Studio"
(h1 [Guile Studio])
(p [Picture this scene: ,(ref "/elephly.html" "Chlodwig") wants to
learn ,(ref "https://gnu.org/software/guile" "Guile") and asks for the
best editor for writing and editing Guile Scheme code. The friendly
folks on the ,(ref "https://logs.guix.gnu.org/guile" "#guile IRC
channel") recommend
,(ref "/posts/2016-02-14-ilovefs-emacs.html" "Emacs"). Chlodwig does
not know what Emacs is, but installs it, giddy with anticipation to
play with Guile.])
(p [Emacs presents itself as a diamond in the rough. Chlodwig only
sees the impermeable rocky surface, unable to reveal its hidden
beauty. By the time Chlodwig has finished imagining the process of
,(ref "https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/yak_shaving" "shaving a yak") to
learn how to configure Emacs in order to set it up to be an
environment conducive to playing with Guile, the inital spark of
motivation has faded.])
(p [Guile Studio is for Chlodwig.])
(wide-img "/images/guile-studio.png"
"A screenshot of Guile Studio with a custom splash screen,
a code buffer, and a REPL session showing the picture language.")
(p [Guile Studio is a development environment for playing with Guile
Scheme. It is really just a pre-configured Emacs with a few settings
that make working with Guile easier for people who find Emacs
confusing. The features include:])
(ul
(li [dedicated documentation pane])
(li [tool bar icons to evaluate Guile code or look up documentation])
(li [REPL interaction with Geiser])
(li [tab bar for source files])
(li [code completion])
(li [syntax checking])
(li [unsurprising copy/paste/undo keys])
(li [support for Guile's very own ,(ref "/guile-picture-language" "picture language")])
(li [simple mode line]))
(h2 [I Want That!])
(p [You can install Guile Studio with
,(ref "https://guix.gnu.org" "Guix"). Just run ,(code [guix install guile-studio]).])
(h2 [Help needed])
(p [There are many more things that can be done to make Emacs less
confusing for people who use it just as a Guile IDE. I would be happy
to hear your suggestions or apply patches to improve Guile Studio!])
