   2 ============
   3
   4 Vesa Karvonen is a student at the http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/index.en.html[University of Helsinki].
   5 His interests lie in programming techniques that allow complex programs to be expressed
   6 clearly and concisely and the design and implementation of programming languages.

  10 Things he'd like to see for SML and hopes to be able to contribute towards:
  11
  12 * A practical tool for documenting libraries. Preferably one that is
  13 based on extracting the documentation from source code comments.
  14
  15 * A good IDE. Possibly an enhanced SML mode (`esml-mode`) for Emacs.
  16 Google for http://www.google.com/search?&q=SLIME+video[SLIME video] to
  17 get an idea of what he'd like to see. Some specific notes:

  19 --
  20   * show type at point
  21   * robust, consistent indentation
  22   * show documentation
  23   * jump to definition (see <:EmacsDefUseMode:>)

  26 <:EmacsBgBuildMode:> has also been written for working with MLton.
  27
  28 * Documented and cataloged libraries. Perhaps something like
  29 http://www.boost.org[Boost], but for SML libraries.  Here is a partial
  30 list of libraries, tools, and frameworks Vesa is or has been working
  31 on:

  45 Note that most of these libraries have been ported to several <:StandardMLImplementations:SML implementations>.
