Description Magnus Deininger 2007-11-21 20:38:47 UTC

Dream is an R4RS scheme interpreter written in x86 assembly. It's extremely small (30kb) and doesn't even need glibc to work.

The package includes its own scheme-ish x86 assembler, written in R4RS scheme, which dream also uses to compile itself.

That much for scheme always wasting lots of RAM and CPU cycles :-)

Upstream gone.
Additionally R4RS is a quite old implementation (generally R6RS or R7RS are used nowadays).
