Scheme Interpreters in JavaScript

Some possibly good lists of Scheme interpreters in JavaScript:

  1. Scheme Web, Standardizing the Scheme web development stack, with their own SRFI

  2. jashkenas list of Schemes that compile to JavaScript

  3. a googling of: scheme interpreter javascript

  4. a googling of: scheme implementations

  5. a googling of: scheme webassembly

  6. a googling of: javascript site:schemers.org

  7. a googling of: scheme "asm.js"

  8. a googling of: scheme site:repl.it

  9. a googling of: scheme online

  10. a googling of: scheme webassembly

  11. a googling of: emscripten scheme

  12. [the list of implementations in Wikipedia's entry for Scheme (programming language)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme_(programming_language)#Implementations)

  13. [Wikipedia's Category:Scheme (programming language) implementations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Scheme_(programming_language)_implementations)

  14. Rosettacode.org's Category:Scheme Implementations

  15. Scheme Web Dev

  16. Scheme section of "languages that compile to JavaScript"

Some interesting reads about Scheme interpreters in JavaScript:

  1. Paper on Whalesong

  2. A performant scheme interpreter in asm.js, Noah Van Es, Jens Nicolay, Quentin Stievenart, Theo D’Hondt, Coen De Roover - PDF available as a free download

  3. Implementing a performant scheme interpreter for the web in asm.js, Noah Van Es, Jens Nicolay, Quentin Stievenart, Theo D’Hondt, Coen De Roover - PDF available as a free download

  4. Implementing a performant scheme interpreter for the web in asm.js, Noah Van Es, Jens Nicolay, Quentin Stievenart, Theo D’Hondt, Coen De Roover (ACM citation)

  5. Schemeweb

  6. Schemeweb mailing list

Scheme Implementations for the browser

  1. Whalesong and its predecessor, Moby

  2. RacketScript

  3. jsScheme (not maintained)

  4. Biwascheme

  5. Gambit

  6. LIPS (https://lips.js.org/)

  7. Gauche

  8. Chibi Scheme (tiny library to use as an extension & scripting language in C programs; works on Emscripten)

  9. Schism (compiler from Scheme to WebAssembly)

  10. a Scheme-to-Rust compiler built in Rust (with step-by-step implementation details by a first-time Schemer)

(Others to be added when I have time.)
