Gambit Scheme: An optimizing Scheme compiler.
lang/scheme/impl/gambit/
Gambit is an optimizing Scheme compiler/system. It conforms to the
IEEE-Scheme standard (IEEE P1178) and the Revised^4 Report on Scheme
(R4RS). The system supports the whole numeric tower (i.e. integer,
rational, real and complex numbers). It also has several extensions to
the standards including: weak pairs, string ports, property lists,
futures, pretty printer, debugger, compiler and multitasking. The
distribution contains the interpreter and optimizing native code
compiler and all the sources required to build the system (the sources
for MacGambit are for THINK-C 5.0). MacGambit's specific features
include: a Scheme interface to several Toolbox routines (mostly
QuickDraw), a drawing window for simple graphics, an online help
system containing R4RS and a Scheme oriented editor with an emacs
compatibility mode.
