NexJ Scheme is an open source project providing an efficient and powerful interpreter for the programming language Scheme that executes in a Java virtual machine. Today I was sort of shocked to learn that there is another implementation besides SISC and Kawa that runs on Java! There wasn’t even an announcement for NexJ on comp.lang.scheme [...]

Folks, As promised I have put up a blog post on how to get Dolphin running native under Wine (in this particular case on Mac OSX using a free product called WineSkin). You can find the blog at: http://object-arts.com/blog/blog.html There are a few videos to go along with the blog and these can be found [...]
A lot of people would like Emacs style evaluation of code in DrRacket. This document explains how to do it. (via racket-users)
Meng Zhang set up project files for building Chibi for OS X and an iOS REPL here. With virtually no iOS knowledge I just checked it out, built it, and ran it on the simulator in a couple of minutes. Thank you Alex and Meng! (via chibi-scheme)

Sagittarius Scheme System is a “mostly R6RS Scheme system”. (via scheme-reports)
Hi, I’m going to work through http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/BTML/ and http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~lp15/MLbook/ using http://www.smlnj.org/ SLOWLY over MANY MONTHS. The reason is that I’ve never learned a statically typed functional programming language, I feel weak on recursive data type definitions, and I am curious about compiler and interpreter construction. So, I’m looking for a way to learn about all [...]
Whalesong is a compiler from Racket to JavaScript; it takes Racket programs and translates them so that they can run stand-alone on a user’s web browser. It should allow Racket programs to run with (hopefully!) little modification, and provide access through the foreign-function interface to native JavaScript APIs. The included runtime library supports the numeric [...]
