librep Description

A shared library implementing a Lisp dialect librep is a shared library implementing a Lisp dialect that is lightweight, reasonably fast, and highly extensible. librep contains an interpreter, byte-code compiler and virtual machine. Applications may use the interpreter as an extension language, or it may be used for standalone scripts. Here are some key features of "librep": · bytecode compiler and virtual machine · choice of lexical and dynamic scope for variables · single name space for symbols · a module system (modelled largely on Scheme48) · support for running Scheme code (currently targets r4rs) · tail-call elimination · mostly Scheme-like numbers (bignums, rationals, floats) · supports call-with-current-continuation · software preemptive threading · mostly Perl-like regular expression handling · extensible type, I/O and file handling · shared objects (a.k.a. plugins) appear as lisp libraries to the user · comprehensive support for spawning and controlling subprocesses What's New in This Release: · use $prefix/lib instead of $prefix/libexecdir to satisfy FHS
