Nausicaa for R6RS Scheme

#+BEGIN_QUOTE

Nausicaa is a distribution of Scheme language libraries for R6RS Scheme implementations. Currently it attempts to support Ikarus, Larceny, Mosh and Ypsilon.

Nausicaa/Scheme is the core package; it provides foundation libraries and implements the infrastructure of the foreign functions interface. It comes in two flavors:

The full distribution, with documentation and foreign functions interface included. Its installation infrastructure requires a GNU+Linux system (for details see the “README.build” file).

The pure Scheme distribution, includes only the sources of the libraries, ready to be unpacked in their installation destination.

The latest release of the Nausicaa/Scheme package is available at:

<http://github.com/marcomaggi/nausicaa/downloads>

the home page of the Nausicaa project is at:

development takes place at:

Scratch Programming

Scratch is a new programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art — and share your creations on the web.
Scratch is designed to help young people (ages 8 and up) develop 21st century learning skills. As they create and share Scratch projects, young people learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively.

I wonder how this compared to PLT Worlds.

A Native PDF Editor

Here, for OS X, is a native PDF editor (or PDF based word-processor, depending on how you look at it). It seems interesting; and perhaps “easier” than LaTeX.

Elastic tabstops

The argument: Code an in editor should be dynamically formatted using something like intelligent table-based layouts.
Seems like an OK idea. Read about it here.

Armpit: Scheme Interpreter for ARM Microcontrollers

ARMPIT SCHEME is an interpreter for the Scheme language (lexically-scoped dialect of Lisp) that runs on RISC microcontrollers with ARM core.

The intent of this project is to compile information about ALL the mathematicians of the world. We earnestly solicit information from all schools who participate in the development of research level mathematics and from all individuals who may know desired information.
Please notice: Throughout this project when we use the word “mathematics” or “mathematician” we mean that word in a very inclusive sense. Thus, all relevant data from statistics, computer science, or operations research is welcome.

You can trace lineages as far back as Euler.
