I was checking the new beta release of LIPS Scheme in GNU Emacs. I was searching for a way to execute an expression in Scheme mode when using the cmuscheme Scheme REPL in the other window. It turned out that it's standard C-x C-e (same as for elisp). The problem is that it displays the prompt multiple times when you execute code that doesn't produce any output.

I'm excited to introduce a new beta version of LIPS Scheme. The most important features of this version are full continuations and TCO (Tail Call Optimization). They were inspired by JS-Scheme by Alex Yakovlev.

LIPS Scheme support regular expression literals, but it's not the only one implementation that support those. Other implementation includes Gauche and Kawa.

Unfortunetlly, you can't easily use those regular expressions in GNU Emacs, my main editor of choice.

This is the first article on LIPS blog. In this article I will write about the history of LIPS Scheme interpreter.
