MScheme

What is MScheme?

MScheme is a Scheme interpreter implemented in Kotlin (Multiplatform). The project goals are

to comply with the Revised⁵ Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme,
to develop a modular, clear and object-oriented design based on the core-scheme defined in the article Proper Tail Recursion and Space Efficiency by William Clinger and
to run on the JVM and in the browser via Kotlin Multiplatform.

... unit tests with Kotest,
... some builtin procedures,
... integer numbers,
... file IO procedures including read and load,
... first-class, user-defined functions with lambda,
... a cycle safe list?,
... proper tail recursion,
... first-class continuations with call-with-current-continuation and dynamic-wind,
... compilation to intermediate code for efficient execution,
... syntax check and symbol lookup at compile time,
... proper internal definition handling by two pass compilation,
... a low level macro system with define-syntax,
... Kotlin Multiplatform: runs on the JVM and in the browser,
... a browser REPL,
... a (German) Diplomarbeit available as ps and pdf.

... saving and loading of intermediate code,
... some primitive and library procedures,
... rational, floating-point and complex numbers,
... let-syntax and letrec-syntax,
... hygienic macros with syntax-rules,
... maybe some SRFIs:
- SRFI-6, Basic string ports,
- SRFI-16, case-lambda would be nice.
... a SLib configuration file — and get hygienic macros for free!

It is called MScheme because
