Lisp in Small Pieces vs state of the art

mich...@schuerig.de (Michael Schuerig) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 22:22:24 UT

I've recently read Christian Queinnec's Lisp in Small Pieces. I didn't
study it thoroughly enough to understand every little bit, still it was
a fascinating and instructional read. What I'm wondering about now is
this: the book's contents are around 12 to 15 years old and research on
implementing Lisp-like languages has not stagnated in the meantime.

Vancouver Lisp Users Group meeting for September 2008 - The BKNR Common Lisp web application development environment

billc...@gmail.com (billc) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 16:40:12 UT

Hi all,
We've had a few presentations on web application development
environments/frameworks at lispvan. For our September lispvan meeting,
Hans Hübner will be flying over from Berlin (actually, he's coming for
the ICFP conference in Victoria, but has graciously agreed to come
over to Vancouver for the evening while he's in the area) to give us a

parser generators for scheme

carterch...@gmail.com (cartercheng@gmail.com) — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 19:20:43 UT

Hi,
I currently working on a compiler/interpreter type system in scheme
and I was if there are any good parser generation tools for scheme
which include the ability to track the character position of tokens in
the parse stream for both error reporting during semantic analysis and
runtime.
The only tool I have found so far is lalr-scm where I am not sure if

Anyone wanting to take over PS/Tk?

Is anybody out there interested in continuing the development
of PS/Tk, the Portable Scheme/Tk interface?

All code is on the above page (pstk.scm). An obsolete and
utterly incompatible version can be found at the Snowfort

I will stop maintaining this project with immediate effect

Determining Scheme Implementation

will.donne...@gmail.com (Will Donnelly) — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 21:45:42 UT

I want to try to make a cross-implementation library that I can use
for some system-related tasks (starting a program, communicating to it
via unix stdin, etc). Most of the implementations I am interested in
offer this sort of functionality, but the mechanisms differ. Is there
any way that I could easily determine the Scheme implementation that

Compiler Internals

psil...@merlin.cs.wisc.edu (Peter Keller) — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:39:18 UT

Hello,
What would be considered a good choice for the intermediate representation
in a scheme compiler these days? So far I've found CPS, ANF, and SSA
with them being translatable between each other, with exceptions. I
understand SSA and CPS the best and am just looking into ANF.
There were a great crop of theises and papers around the mid 90's about

Combine let* let letrec into super-let (or simply let)

narutocan...@gmail.com (narutocanada@gmail.com) — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 17:19:18 UT

hi
Please combine let* let letrec into super-let, (or simply let) for
future consideration.
I can not for my life see a reason for keeping "the other" "lets",
other than the super-let (or simply let). Is there occassions why one
would want "the other" "lets" other than super-let? If one word can
mean three features, why not use the super version for brevity. Just a

introspection in Scheme?

nap...@gmail.com (Nyang A. Phra) — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 16:55:17 UT

Is there any nice way to perform procedure introspection in Scheme?
That is, I'd like to be able to inspect, at runtime, the internal
structure of a procedure; what arguments does it take and what does
the procedure body look like?
PLT Scheme seems to have procedure-arity so perhaps there's some hope

Best scheme for embedding in C?

neil.bay...@gmail.com (Neil Baylis) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 01:39:05 UT

Hi,
which would be the best scheme implementation for embedding in a C
program. I think what I need is a scheme that is provided as a library
that I can link with the rest of my app. But main() will be in the C
application, not in the scheme library. I would want to be able to
create scheme functions callable from the C application. I would also
