TinyScheme 64

TinyScheme for your Nintendo 64!

To use, you will need a console, a flashcart, and UNFLoader.

To run, run the command:

UNFLoader -r TinyScheme_64.z64 -d

and then you can enter Scheme code.

I guess next up is Libdragon integration using FFI.

This is based on the following fork of TinyScheme:

tinyscheme-embedded

Stripped and reorganized version of Tinyscheme for embedded enviroments. In other words, this is a casual attempt to create a platform agnostic Scheme while being still useful.

In my opinion, Scheme is the best minimalist yet powerful language we can imagine. For some time, I was trying get it run on common microcontrollers like ESP32, ESP8266 and STM32F103 (aka Blue Pill). So I tried to remove platform dependent features from TinyScheme in order to make it usable on every enviroment with enough memory. Although it runs successfully on ESP32, it seems like there is not enough memory for ESP8266 sigh

This is an opinionated version of TinyScheme; symbols are case-sensitive, there is no loading mechanism for dynamic libraries, interactive mode and most feature switches are removed or will be removed.

There are a few usage examples; "Hello world", two different REPLs and an FFI example.

It still passes nearly all cases of http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/scm/scm/r4rstest.scm except case-sensitivity ones. (This is the test suite recommended by SLIB documentation).

In the future, I will add newlib style stubs to get rid of standard library dependency, too.
