Open Source Scheme Compilers for Mac

This project is dedicated to developing more readable format(s) for Lisp-based languages (such as Common Lisp and Scheme) and implementing those formats (readers, pretty-printers, editor macros, etc.). MIT license preferred, to spread them widely.

several vaguely related projects worked on by me: a 3d engine with a javascript-like scripting language (pdsys); an older scheme dialect (vmsys); ... (2009-04-28: I have been gone for years, may try to put up some newer stuff...).

In this project we aim to develop scheme libraries for developing various web applications (especially servlets and xml-based web services). Our approach is to use jscheme (an open source implementation of scheme in Java) as the core language which allow

Metaprogramming: proof of the concept.

Eleven is a programming language for creating robust, scalable web applications. It offers a 20x programmer productivity increase over ASP, JSP, etc. by automating state management and UI layout. The compiler generates ready-to-run PHP or mod_perl code.

This is a JavaScript to Scheme translator written entirely in Scheme. Currently tested only with Guile

Kawa is a full Scheme implementation. It implements almost all of R5RS (for exceptions see Restrictions), plus some extensions.

LIME (Less-is-More) is parallel/concurrent programming environment based on C. Internally, it uses XML technology to describe tasks and their dependencies. Externally, it offers the ANSI C99 programming as well as a set of visually-oriented interfaces.

Ocean Scheme is an implementation of the Scheme programming language (aiming to be compatible with the upcoming R6RS Standard), whose native platform is the .NET framework (Mono, MS, and DotGNU). Written ground-up in C#.

PLT Spy is a Python to Scheme translator.

Yes, Scheme really is a portable language. S2 proves it. S2 compiles various dialects to R5RS, and can bootstrap under four different dialects

A set of Eclipse plugins for the Scheme programming language. Features a powerful, fully extensible S-expression-based editor. Integrates seamlessly with any Scheme interpreter.

Schism is an experimental compiler that translates Scheme programs into WebAssembly, allowing Scheme code to execute in both browser environments and server platforms like Node.js. Developed initially by Google researchers, the project was designed to explore the intersection of functional programming and WebAssembly’s low-level efficiency. Schism supports a subset of the R6RS Scheme standard and is self-hosting, meaning that the compiler itself is written in and compiled by Schism. Its architecture demonstrates advanced compiler design techniques such as staged compilation and snapshot-based bootstrapping. The project focuses on leveraging WebAssembly’s experimental capabilities, including reference types and tail calls, to test the limits of language portability and runtime performance. Though no longer actively maintained, Schism remains a valuable example of how high-level languages can be mapped to WebAssembly and offers insights into language implementation.

A portable and retargetable lexer/parser generator.

Try Scheme is a Scheme interpreter that runs in your web browser. No installation. Just click and go. Full support for continuations and syntax-rules macros!

Waxeye is a parser generator based on parsing expression grammars (PEGs). It supports C, Java, Javascript, Python, Ruby and Scheme.

The project aims at creating an C weaver for use with Aspect Orientated Programming, it involves Java, C and Scheme writing. The paltform it will run on can vary, but we assure Windows, Linux and Sun.

Luna is a Scheme compiler and run time environment for .NET - it is written in C# and Scheme, and provides a useful superset of the R5RS standard.

Sassy is an assembler written in Scheme

sexpreader is a library which can be used by compiler or interpreter writers who want to read LISP-like constructs. This library can read in various tokens like integers, floats, symbols, strings, characters, booleans and parenthesis.

Stalin is an aggressive optimizing batch whole-program Scheme compiler. It uses advanced flow analysis and type inference and a variety of other optimization techniques to produce code (using C as an intermediate language) that is extremely fast.
