Gosu-Mode

Gosu Modes

This is just a collection of various convenient Emacs modes for working with Gosu, a statically typed language for the JVM created by Guidewire Software (http://www.gosu-lang.org).

There are three separate modes here: gosu-mode.el, inferior-gosu-mode.el and gosu-program-mode.el. Generally, all three are mutually independent except for a single key binding defined in gosu-mode.el that launches a buffer in inferior-gosu-mode.

Gosu Mode

This is a simple mode, created using define-generic-mode that provides some basic indenting and highlighting for Gosu. It is the same mode as on the Gosu website (here), with a few additions and enhancements:

• More keywords - I just added any missing keywords I came upon while editing.
• Constant face - true, false, null and this are now highlighted in the same face as numbers.
• Arrows - Now all instances of "->" are turned into arrows, allowing for pretty map literals.
• Inferior Gosu mode - C-c C-l now launches an inferior Gosu process. For this to work, inferior-gosu-mode.el has to be loaded as well.

Inferior Gosu Mode

This is just a simple comint-based mode for interacting with an inferior Gosu process. It does not do anything special--it just sets the buffer's name, the Gosu executable and provides a command to run it. For C-c C-l to work in gosu-mode, this has to be loaded.

Gosu Program Mode

This is, perhaps, the least Gosu-specific mode of the three. In fact, it does not have any Gosu-specific code at all. However, I've only used it for Gosu, and by default it comes configured for use with Ronin, so a Gosu mode it shall remain.

To use this minor mode, open up a shell (M-x shell) then go to the directory where your program located, optionally changing the active profile or using M-x gosu-set-program and M-x gosu-set-test-command to configure which commands will be run by the various key bindings.

The commands provided by this minor mode are:

• C-c C-j clears the buffer then launches the program.
• C-c C-t clears the buffer then launches the tests.
• C-c C-l clears the buffer and presents a (shell) prompt.
• C-c C-; changes the active profile.

Profiles

This mode is trivially configurable for different program and test commands through the use of "profiles". A profile is just the set of commands that will be run by C-c C-j and C-c C-t. You can add a profile using the gosu-add-profile function in your .emacs file. By default, there is one example profile for use with a Ronin server (the commands to run and test are, respectively, "vark server" and "vark test").
