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 programming techniques that allow complex programs to be expressed clearly and concisely and 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?&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, tools, and frameworks Vesa is or has been working on:
