Bigloo
<language> A {Scheme} {interpreter}, {compiler} and {run-time
system} by Manuel Serrano <[email protected]> which aims
to deliver small, fast stand-alone {applications}. It
supports {modules} and {optimisation}. Bigloo's features
enable Scheme programs to be used where {C} or {C++} might
usually be required.
The Bigloo compiler produces {ANSI C} which is compiled into
{stand-alone executables}, {JVM} {bytecode}, or .{NET
bytecode}. Hence Bigloo enables Scheme programs to interwork
with C, {Java} and {C#} programs.
Bigloo conforms to the {IEEE Scheme} {standard} with some
extensions for {regular expression} handling. It runs on
{Sun}, {Sony} {News}, {SGI}, {Linux}, {HP-UX} and is easy to
port to any {Unix} system.
