Gambit (Scheme implementation)

From Encoresoup - The Ultimate Guide to Free/Open Source Software

Gambit, also called Gambit-C, is a free software Scheme implementation, consisting of a Scheme interpreter, and a compiler which compiles Scheme to C. Its documentation [1] claims conformance to the R⁴RS, R⁵RS, and IEEE standards, as well as several SRFIs. Gambit was first released 1994.

[edit] Termite Scheme

Termite Scheme is a Gambit Scheme module intended for distributed computing. It offers a simple and powerful concurrency model, inspired by Erlang, which is based on a message-passing model of concurrency.

[edit] C++ integration

While the compiler produces solely C code, it has full integration support for C++ compilers such as Gnu C++. Thus, software written in Gambit can contain C++ code, and can fully integrate with C++ libraries.
