  • A Tractable Scheme Implementation
    LISP AND SYMBOLIC COMPUTATION:An International Journal, 7, 315-335 (1994) © 1994 Kluwer Academic Publishers, Boston. Manufactured in The Netherlands. A Tractable Scheme Implementation RICHARD A. KELSEY [email protected] NEC Research Institute JONATHAN A. REES [email protected] M1T and Cornell University Abstract. Scheme 48 is an implementation of the Scheme programming language constructed with tractability and reliability as its primary design goals. It has the structural properties of large, compiler-based Lisp implementations: it is written entirely in Scheme, is bootstrapped via its compiler, and provides numerous language extensions. It controls the complexity that ordinarily attends such large Lisp implementations through clear articulation of internal modularity and by the exclusion of features, optimizations, and generalizations that are of only marginal value. Keywords: byte-code interpreters, virtual machines, modularity, Scheme, partial evaluation, layered design 1. Introduction Scheme 48 is an implementation of the Scheme programming language constructed with tractability and reliability as its primary design goals. By tractability we mean the ease with which the system can be understood and changed. Although Lisp dialects, including Scheme, are relatively simple languages, implementation tractability is often threatened by the demands of providing high performance and extended functionality. The Scheme 48 project was initiated in order to experiment with techniques for main- taining implementation tractability in the face of countervailing pressures and to find out what tradeoffs were involved in doing so. (The project was originally an experiment to see if a Scheme implementation could be written in a single weekend; the 48 refers to forty-eight hours.) Small Lisp implementations are usually tractable merely by virtue of being small; it is usually possible for an experienced programmer to read and understand the entire source program in a few days.

  • A Universal Scripting Framework Or Lambda: the Ultimate “Little Language”
    A Universal Scripting Framework or Lambda: the ultimate “little language” Olin Shivers MIT AI Lab, Cambridge, Mass. 02139, USA Abstract. The “little languages” approach to systems programming is flawed: inefficient, fragile, error-prone, inexpressive, and difficult to compose. A bet- ter solution is to embed task-specific sublanguages within a powerful, syntac- tically extensible, universal language, such as Scheme. I demonstrate two such embeddings that have been implemented in scsh, a Scheme programming envi- ronment for Unix systems programming. The first embedded language is a high- level process-control notation; the second provides for Awk-like processing. Em- bedding systems in this way is a powerful technique: for example, although the embedded Awk system was implemented with 7% of the code required for the standard C-based Awk, it is significantly more expressive than its C counterpart. 1 Introduction Many programming tools are built around the idea of “little languages”—small inter- preters implementing a programming language that has been tuned to the specifics of some specialised task domain. This approach to systems-building was popularised by Unix, which provides a host of little-language processors. For example, the following Unix language interpreters all support notations tuned for specialised task domains: Task Interpreter regular-expression based string transforms sed pattern-matching awk type-setting nroff/tbl/eqn dependency-directed recompilation make file-system tree-walking find program invocation and composition sh Little languages complement the Unix “toolkit” philosophy—the operating system provides mechanisms for composing little-language based components into larger sys- tems (and, in fact, the principal interface for doing so is itself a little language, the shell).
