exocore VS LIPS

I have been working for a few years now on Exomind[1], a personal knowledge management tool that takes the form of a unified inbox in which you can have your emails, tasks, notes and bookmarks organized into collections. I have iOS and web/electron clients at the moment and a simple browser extension for bookmarking.

Its backend (Exocore[2]) is built on top of a personal / private blockchain and is made from the ground up to be hosted in a semi-decentralized fashion on your own personal devices (your computer, raspberry pi, a cloud instance, etc.). It is written in Rust and has iOS, C and Web (WASM) clients. It's extensible via WebAssembly written applications.

It has very rough edges, but I'm using it daily to organize my life. It has also been my learning playground to improve my Rust skills over the last two years (it was on another tech stack before).

Sweet, I'll have to give that a go :)

Another option in browser land is lips[0], which exclusively targets a js backend.

For Scheme implementations there are LIPS and biwascheme. I haven't done more than play around with them, so I can't really give an informed opinion about pros and cons or favorites.

Your example revealed a bug in my Scheme interpreter. This is an example that fails to match:

In my interpreter, LIPS Scheme, vector literal syntax is created using a syntax extension, a token that is mapped to a function or a macro. So you can use things like this:

I'm not sure about other Scheme interpreters but in my interpreter LIPS Scheme, there is (env) function that returns a list of symbols. You can also access environment objects e.g. (current-environment) return object that is used internally. And you can even access the scope chain because the env object has __parent__ property that returns the parent scope.

Few of my Open Source projects: * jQuery terminal * LIPS Scheme * Gaiman * Sysend * Wayne

(define promise (--> '>(fetch "https://lips.js.org/") (then (lambda (res) (res.text))) (then (lambda (text) (. (text.match #/\s*([^>]+?)\s*<\/h1>/) 1)))))

ngl when I first saw the headline my first thought was, “Wait, bring CAR into JavaScript? Make it a Lisp? But hasn't it already been done?”

Languages like Biwa Scheme and LIPS Scheme are good for running Scheme in the browser. But I would prefer compiling Scheme code to JavaScript in the server, then serving the compiled JavaScript image to the browser.
