LispPad Overview
What is LispPad? LispPad is an integrated development environment for developing and running Scheme code on macOS and iOS. It provides a fully integrated Scheme interpreter, a console with a read-eval-print loop, and a text editor for writing Scheme code. The Scheme dialect supported by LispPad is based on the R7RS standard and includes features such as R7RS-compliant libraries, hygienic macros, first-class environments, and support for the full numerical tower. LispPad is designed for simplicity and ease of use and includes standard Scheme libraries to facilitate porting existing code. It can also sync code with LispPad Go on iOS via iCloud.
1. • A text editor for writing Scheme code, supporting syntax highlighting, smart indentation, parenthesis matching, text completion, page guides, etc.
2. A number of standard Scheme libraries are built into LispPad to facilitate porting existing Scheme code.
3. LispPad is a simple, lightweight, integrated development environment for developing and running Scheme code on PC and iOS.
4. The language supported by LispPad is based on the R7RS standard of the Scheme programming language.
5. • Support for the full numerical tower consisting of arbitrary size integers, rationals, real numbers, and inexact complex numbers.
6. LispPad is able to sync code with LispPad Go on iOS via iCloud.
7. LispPad focuses on simplicity and ease of use.

A Nice Initial Offering. My thanks to Mr. Zenger!
It has a few rough edges, but is very useable from my initial playing with it. It opens to a REPL titled, “Untitled”. If you want to code a file, it opens the editor titled, “Untitled 2”. This may be a little confusing for some. If you write code into the editor, and then click run on the editor, it will output in the REPL. It might make more sense to title the repl after the current file one is editing to make the connection more obvious. Also, the help file just opens to a page of some screen shots. When preferences are changed for the editor, they don’t show up on the current editor, but rather show up with the next new editor opened. It might be more Windows-like to have the preferences affectt the open editor. These are in NO way complaints. The fact Mr. Zenger offered this for free should absolutely not be a case for looking a “gift horse in the mouth”. Too many write crappy reviews if free software doesn’t do what they think it should. It’s free folks. A gift. If there is something not working, or you want a feature, contact the author about it. Don’t leave a crappy review. That helps no one, and wreaks of an entitled attitude. If they are charging money for it, that’s a whole differen’t thing! If you want a nice, basic app to play with Scheme, or write small programs, this is a nice alternative to the bloat of a more developed ide and/or system.
