This is Pheme, version 0.1.0 ---------------------------- Copyright (C) 2006 - 2009, Parrot Foundation. Pheme is a Parrot-based implementation of Scheme, in the sense that it has the same syntax (what syntax it has) and shares the name of some built-ins. Please note the version number. PREREQUISITES ------------- Pheme depends on Parrot 0.4.13 or higher, PGE, and TGE. INSTRUCTIONS ------------ Get Parrot. Compile Parrot. Make sure its tests pass, particularly those of PGE and TGE. Compile Pheme: $ parrot setup.pir $ parrot setup.pir make test Note that the tests are actual Pheme programs, written entirely in Pheme (except for the test library, which is a PIR program). Run the Pheme compiler via Parrot. The first argument to the compiler should be a Pheme program to run. $ parrot pheme.pbc some_program.pheme Read the TODO file for an idea of some ways to improve this language. Please send all patches, bug reports, and suggestions to the Parrot mailing list. 15 July 2007 chromatic
