Scheme on the CLR

  • Article

Very cool!

Common Larceny is a CLI-targeted implementation of the Scheme programming language. The compiler generates MSIL and is interoperable with other .NET languages. The Common Larceny project is directed by Dr. Will Clinger in partnership with Dr. Matthias Felleisen, both of Northeastern University. It is working to deliver a high-performance stand-alone Scheme compiler as well as the future platform for Felleisen's TeachScheme project.
