RScheme
Scheme implementation
/Main/NetBSD/1.6/sparc/RScheme is an object-oriented, extended version of the Scheme dialect
of Lisp. RScheme is freely redistributable, and offers reasonable
performance despite being extraordinarily portable. RScheme can be
compiled to C, and the C can then compiled with a normal C compiler to
generate machine code. This can be done from a running system, and
the resulting object code can be dynamically linked into RScheme as a
program executes. By default, however, RScheme compiles to bytecodes
which are interpreted by a (runtime) virtual machine. This ensures
that compilation is fast and keeps code size down. In general, we
recommend using the (default) bytecode code generation system, and
only compiling your time-critical code to machine code. This allows a
nice adjustment of space/time tradeoffs.
To the casual user, RScheme appears to be an interpreter. You
can type RScheme code at a read-eval-print loop, and it executes the
code and prints the result. In reality, every expression you type to
the read-eval-print-loop is compiled and the resulting code is executed.
