Gerbil is an opinionated dialect of Scheme designed for Systems
|
||
|
|
Programming, with a state of the art macro and module system on top of
|
||
|
|
the Gambit runtime.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The macro system is based on quote-syntax, and provides the full
|
||
|
|
meta-syntactic tower with a native implementation of syntax-case. It
|
||
|
|
also provides a full-blown module system, similar to PLT Scheme's
|
||
|
|
(sorry, Racket) modules. The main difference from Racket is that
|
||
|
|
Gerbil modules are single instantiation, supporting high performance
|
||
|
|
ahead of time compilation and compiled macros.
