Goo Revisited

I must admit, I'm fickle. I run back and forth from language to language, trying this, then that, bumping into a quirk I don't like and moving on to the next one. I usually circle back around in a few months only to start the process all over again.

While playing with Goo, I wrote an Eclipse plugin that provides syntax highlighting and access to a sub-shell Goo REPL. I eventually set Goo aside (I can't even remember why right now) and went back to playing with Dylan and Scheme.

Since Goo has a Lispy syntax, it was relatively easy to modify things to work with MzScheme. This is only about 75% done, but you can get an idea of what it looks like.

I'll be posting it (with an installer) when its finished for people to try (or not) as they choose.
