Husk is a dialect of Scheme written in Haskell that implements a superset of
|
|
the R5RS standard. Advanced features are provided including:
|
|
|
|
* First-class continuations of unlimited extent
|
|
* Hygienic macros based on syntax-rules
|
|
* Low-level explicit renaming macros
|
|
* Library syntax from the R7RS standard
|
|
* A foreign function interface (FFI) to Haskell
|
|
* Full numeric tower providing support for real, rational, and complex numbers
|
|
* Proper tail recursion and lexical scoping
|
|
* Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL) interpreter, with input driven by Haskeline
|
|
to provide a rich user experience
|
|
* Standard library of Scheme functions, and support for many popular SRFI's
|
|
|
|
Husk may be used as either a stand-alone interpreter or as an extension language
|
|
within a larger Haskell application. By closely following the R5RS standard,
|
|
the intent is to develop a Scheme that is as compatible as possible with
|
|
other R5RS Schemes. Husk is mature enough for use in production, however
|
|
it is not optimized for performance-critical applications.
