What tools do you use with Guile?

[Erik Edrosa]

Hello everyone,

Something I have been wondering is what tools does the community use to
work on their GNU Guile projects?

What do you use to build your projects? Do you use autotools,
handwritten Makefiles, some other build system, or don't even use any
build tools?

How do you manage your software written in Guile? Do you use a package
manager like GNU Guix, use the build system to install packages, or just
copy files to your project directories?

What do you use to test your projects? srfi-64, guile-lib, or some other
library?

What text editor do you use? GNU Emacs, vim, or some other editor? What
extensions do you use for your editor?

Do you use other languages on Guile? Wisp, Lua, or some other language?

Any other tool worth mentioning?

Thanks,
Erik (OrangeShark)

When I need a build tool, I typically use autotools.

When I don’t, my scripts use bash-indirection, for example when I want
to trigger auto-compilation of other files before the script starts, or
adjust the library path. See the maximum portability example on
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/docs-2.0/guile-ref/Scripting-Examples.html#Scripting-Examples

For simple projects, I just run from the projects Mercurial
repositories.

Also I use a Guix overlay to install Guile dependencies, and I install
user-tools to ~/.local/bin (along with ~/.local/lib/guile/2.2/ ).

hand-written tests and srfi-64.

Emacs.

Wisp (along with Scheme).

Any other tool worth mentioning?

Bash, since I run my scripts with shell indirection.

Handwritten makefile first, then autotools if I'm going to let other
people see it.

If it doesn't come with Fedora dnf, I build it from source and install it
in the standard directories.

Typically, I use the parallel test harness that is built into Automake
as the test runner. Using that test runner, I write each test as its
own scheme script.

What text editor do you use? GNU Emacs, vim, or some other editor? What
extensions do you use for your editor?

For Guile I use Emacs, sometimes with Geiser.

No. But I like the idea of Wisp.

Any other tool worth mentioning?

I do most of my debugging of guile scripts in GDB. I also have a
structured logging library that can write to the systemd binary log,
when I want to make a lot of debugging spew and look at it later.

For some scheme scripts, I want to edit as multiple files but then
assemble them into a single file, so I use M4 to let me include
scripts in other scripts.

I do both. I have one project that is packaged but others I copy paste
(microkanren, streams, combinator, web stuff)

I use small macro for small project or srfi 64 with code coverage now.

Emacs but I make very simple use of it. I have geiser installed mostly to
have access to scheme mode and rainbow delimiter and also bm extensions to
bookmark lines of code.

I also have silversearcher aka. ag instead of the default C-f

Didn't know there was a prolog implementation, I will definitely check
this out.
