Readme for husk-scheme-3.5.3
[back to package description]
husk is a dialect of Scheme written in Haskell that adheres to the R5RS standard. Advanced R5RS features are provided including continuations, hygienic macros, and a full numeric tower.
husk may be used as either a stand-alone interpreter or as an extension language within a larger Haskell application. By closely following the R5RS standard, the intent is to develop a Scheme that is as compatible as possible with other R5RS Schemes. husk is mature enough for use in production applications, however it is not optimized for performance-critical applications.
Scheme is one of two main dialects of Lisp. Scheme follows a minimalist design philosophy: the core language consists of a small number of fundamental forms which may be used to implement other built-in forms. Scheme is an excellent language for writing small, elegant programs, and may also be used to write scripts or embed scripting functionality within a larger application.
Installation
husk may be installed using cabal - just run the following command:
cabal install husk-scheme
License
husk scheme is available under the MIT license.
Credits
husk scheme is developed by Justin Ethier.
The interpreter is based on code from the book Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours written by Jonathan Tang and hosted / maintained by Wikibooks.
