TinyScheme is a lightweight Scheme interpreter that implements as
|
|
large a subset of R5RS as was possible without getting very large and
|
|
complicated. It is meant to be used as an embedded scripting
|
|
interpreter for other programs. As such, it does not offer IDEs or
|
|
extensive toolkits although it does sport a small top-level loop,
|
|
included conditionally. A lot of functionality in TinyScheme is
|
|
included conditionally, to allow developers freedom in balancing
|
|
features and footprint.
|
|
|
|
As an embedded interpreter, it allows multiple interpreter states to
|
|
coexist in the same program, without any interference between them.
|
|
Programmatically, foreign functions in C can be added and values can
|
|
be defined in the Scheme environment. Being quite a small program, it
|
|
is easy to comprehend, get to grips with, and use.
