'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy where the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe
Important
Development on Jabberwocky has been stopped, if needed I will try to solve minor bugs but no new changes are planned. If someone wants to take over the project please send a e-mail to Marc Mertens
Jabberwocky is a integrated development environment for the LISP programming language. The following components are available :
- A editor with syntax coloring and code completion.
- A interaction pane with the LISP process.
- A browser of the sources,functions,macros etc..
- A source level debugger (the successor of Lisp Debug).
For a screenshot of the IDE see
Debugging Session
Status
Work on Jabberwocky has branched in a stable release (version 1.0.x) and a development release
(version 2.0.x). Discovered bugs will be fixed in the stable and the development release but new
features will be added to the unstable development release. If bugs are discovered (for the stable or
development release) send them to Marc Mertens. Before you send
a bug report verify the changes or known bugs to
see if the bug is already resolved or if it is a known bug. If possible the report should contain a
description of the bug, the circumstances that caused the bug and the error.log in the .Jabberwocky
subdirectory of your home directory.
Happy lisping.

Reference Manual
It is possible to extend the debugger and the syntax highlighting if you add
control structures to LISP, see extending syntax for more details.
