[comp.lang.scheme] Scheme on a Mac

house@CS.WILLIAMS.EDU (06/01/89)

I am interested in building a scheme or lisp based interactive
shell for interfacing with 3-d graphics routines.  The graphics
stuff is coded in C, so I will need hooks to call C routines
from scheme.  Any clues/pointers will be much appreciated.

You might look at MacScheme+ToolSmith.  You can do applications in
~100K.  There is an assembler-level interface, I don't know if they
directly support high-level assemblers such as C.  I believe that
they have an inexpensive (~$10) demo disk.

I sent "house@cs.williams.edu" a copy of siod, Scheme in one Defun, but
actually a mere 25Kbytes of C source code. It is extremely easy to
write new SUBR's for this scheme implementation. Depending on the application
the over-simplified storage-management may or may not be a problem.
