PreScheme arena allocator, the funny part is i can just define external C text like in address->color and color-size LOL

#scheme #prescheme #lisp

dynamic array in PreScheme

prescheme from scheme48 source in ps-compiler directory, not from restoration prescheme

#lisp #scheme #prescheme

@daviwil #systemcrafters #sigil I’m really excited to see what sigil could actually be. I really envision a flutter like UI kit using #scheme and able to compile to wasm. Is there any interest with #prescheme , possibly have sigil compile down to C?

Whatever happened to the #PreScheme restoration project? Was it abandoned?

Pre-Scheme

So I guess it makes more sense to create wrappers from rust to C then create #guile bindings from the C code. #niri #guile #scheme, maybe is a great time to learn #prescheme ?
Is #prescheme still being worked on? Is #gerbil worth it? What other #lisp #scheme dialects would be great for systems programming?

I'd love to get an update on what's going on with #PreScheme, but alas:

- There's only been a single progress report posted on https://prescheme.org, over a year ago
- @flatwhatson hasn't posted on Mastodon in many months

I worry that the Pre-Scheme project might have died a quiet death.

I'm worried about #PreScheme. There was no activity on its repo for 5 months and @flatwhatson seems to be inactive on Fedi. What happened? I hope everything's alright and PreScheme is not dead yet.

Small Headed Programming by Pjotr Prins

#PreScheme looks really nice (for Pythonistas think Cython but this transpiles to proper C, just like #Vala transpiles a C# like language to C)

Readable Lisp, readable C

FOSDEM 2025 - Small headed programming for performance with prescheme, nim and zig

@Laauurraaa the smallest binary footprint dream is actually quite close to #BinaryLambdaCalculus—there are only three (relatively high-level!) primitives that are expressed by short patterns of bits.

And you might've seen me boasting a 350-bit sorting program already, so something taking a whole screen of C code fits into 50 bytes, actually!

Given some (relatively primitive) compiler building, one can have a strictly typed&inferred language that compiles down to raw applicative #LambdaCalculus and actually looks easy on the eye! Something like Scheme & #prescheme, but even more minimalist in the computation basis! And yes, fast too, given a bit of (trivial) optimization and maybe your FPGA ideas
