opendylan VS gambit

Yes those were inspired by deuce, here is open dylan's version: https://github.com/dylan-lang/opendylan/tree/master/sources/...

Dylan, which was originally created by Apple: https://opendylan.org/

OpenDylan kept being developed for a long time even after Apple lost interest, and they still do releases every once in a blue moon, but the community is tiny, and nobody is doing anything with Dylan (save for the compiler itself).

what is this fairly close resemblance? Parentheses?

There are a bunch of Lisp like languages without s-expression syntax: Lisp 2, Logo, MDL, RLISP, CLISP (not the CL implementation), Dylan, Racket with its new syntax (Racket2, Rhombus), Skill, ...

For example Dylan is based on Scheme & CLOS + a different syntax + some other influences. https://opendylan.org

If they go with another language, it had damn well better be Dylan. Apple already designed it and screwed up when they abandoned it back then (circa Java).

Carp, Lux and Dale are 3 I'm familiar with.There's also Dylan, though that one dropped its parentheses. But if we go by the brackets, technically, we can argue that any expression-based languages is a Lisp. I once wrote a Lisp to JS transpile whose output had more parens than the input. :)

- Gambit: web-server example

Not to be confused with Gambit (Scheme programming language implementation):

https://gambitscheme.org/

The Ribbit compiler was developed using Gambit but most of the code is portable. I rewrote a few parts with cond-expand to port rsc.scm to older versions of Gambit and also Guile and Chicken. If you pull the latest commit the Ribbit system should work with any of those Scheme systems. The README also contains usage instructions, here is a relevant part:

The Ribbit compiler is written in Scheme and can be executed with Gambit, Guile or Chicken. It has been tested with Gambit v4.7.5 and above. For the best experience install Gambit from https://github.com/gambit/gambit .

Currently Ribbit supports the target languages C, JavaScript, Python and Scheme which are selectable with the compiler's `-t` option with `c`, `js`, `py`, and `scm` respectively. The compacted RVM code can be obtained with the target `none` which is the default.

The `-m` option causes a minification of the generated program. This requires a recent version of Gambit.

The `-l` option allows selecting the Scheme runtime library (located in the `lib` subdirectory). The `min` library has the fewest procedures and a REPL that supports the core Scheme forms only. The `max` library has most of the R4RS predefined procedures, except for file I/O. The `max-tc` library is like `max` but with run time type checking. The default is the `max-tc` library.

Here are a few examples:

    Use Gambit to compile the minimal REPL to JavaScript

That is a bummer about the expired certificate. You can access the site using http instead of https if you are comfortable doing so. I have never seen this live REPL before and have just used their Github repo to get the latest: https://github.com/gambit/gambit

I think it is great someone is trying to get Racket compiling to Javascript again. I also agree with you about the REPL; while it is interesting to compile Racket to JS, having a REPL, a live environment and all the features of something like ClojureScript has much more utility.

Don't hesitate to submit the problems you encounter to the issue tracker on github (https://github.com/gambit/gambit/issues).

But it's command like tool, I don't think that there is Online tool even smilar to the Python tool you showed. You can try creating issue with a question on https://github.com/gambit/gambit/issues Marc Feeley may consider that it's also nice idea to show usage of Gambit, he was working on making Gambit on new try.scheme.org website, I've also did some help.

Edit: somebody opened an issue for this https://github.com/gambit/gambit/issues/649
