<div class="paragraph"><p>Vesa Karvonen is a student at the <a href="http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/index.en.html">University of Helsinki</a>.
His interests lie in programming techniques that allow complex programs to be expressed
clearly and concisely and the design and implementation of programming languages.</p></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p>Things he&#8217;d like to see for SML and hopes to be able to contribute towards:</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><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>
<p>
A good IDE. Possibly an enhanced SML mode (<span class="monospaced">esml-mode</span>) for Emacs.
Google for <a href="http://www.google.com/search?&amp;q=SLIME+video">SLIME video</a> to
get an idea of what he&#8217;d like to see. Some specific notes:
</p>
<div class="openblock">
<div class="content">
<div class="ulist"><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>)

<div class="paragraph"><p><a href="EmacsBgBuildMode">EmacsBgBuildMode</a> has also been written for working with MLton.</p></div>

<p>
Documented and cataloged libraries. Perhaps something like
<a href="http://www.boost.org">Boost</a>, but for SML libraries.  Here is a partial
list of libraries, tools, and frameworks Vesa is or has been working
on:
