Instead,<br> all the logic an functionality could be worked out for mzscheme via a relatively<br> simple command line utility (or even a little scheme repl - whatever). <br> <br> The utility could just run emacs or vi or whatever when needed (preferably an <br> editor that can scripts on startup, highlight lines on demand, etc.), run Lynx <br> or Firefox or whatever when needed to view docs, run the subversion command line<br> utility and so on and so forth.<br> <br> This allows for actually building the data structures, organizing them on disk,<br> analyzing the project information and keeping track of *that* and so on and <br> so forth.<br> <br> Any thoughts?
