Vesa Karvonen is a student at the <a class="external" href="http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/index.en.html"><img src="moin-www.png" alt="[WWW]" height="11" width="11">University of Helsinki</a>. His interests lie in the design and implementation of programming languages. <p>

Things he'd like to see for SML and hopes to be able to contribute towards: 
</p>

        <ul>

        <li>
<p>
 A practical tool for documenting libraries. Preferably one that is   based on extracting the documentation from source code comments. 
</p>
</li>
        <li class="gap">
<p>
 A good IDE. Possibly an enhanced SML mode (<tt>esml-mode</tt>) for Emacs.   Google for <a class="external" href="http://www.google.com/search?&amp;q=SLIME+video"><img src="moin-www.png" alt="[WWW]" height="11" width="11">SLIME video</a> to   get an idea of what he'd like to see. Some specific notes: 
</p>
</li>

                <ul>

                <li>
<p>
 show type at point 
</p>
</li>
                <li>
<p>
 robust, consistent indentation 
</p>
</li>
                <li>
<p>
 show documentation 
</p>
</li>
                <li>
<p>
 jump to definition (see <a href="EmacsDefUseMode">EmacsDefUseMode</a>) 
</p>
</li>

                </ul>


  <a href="EmacsBgBuildMode">EmacsBgBuildMode</a> has also been written for working with MLton.         <li class="gap">
<p>
 Documented and cataloged libraries. Perhaps something like   <a class="external" href="http://www.boost.org"><img src="moin-www.png" alt="[WWW]" height="11" width="11">Boost</a>, but for SML libraries.  Here is a partial   list of libraries Vesa is or has been working on:
