Elk: Extension Language Kit interpreter for Scheme
lang/scheme/impl/elk/
Elk (Extension Language Kit) is a Scheme interpreter designed to be
used as a general extension language for applications written in C or
C++. Elk can also be used as a stand-alone implementation of the
Scheme programming language. It is mostly R4RS and P1178 conformant
(with the exception of the number system and a few minor details). It
has interfaces to Xlib, Xt, and the Athena and OSF/Motif widget sets.
It includes dynamic incremental linking of C object files, an
optional foreign function interface, and a generational garbage
collector. Elk can also freeze a fully customized application into a
new executable file. Other features include a simple macro
facility, environments as first-class objects, dynamic-wind,
fluid-let, autoloading, and provide/require.
