  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • biwascheme

    Scheme interpreter written in JavaScript

    Biwascheme has some weird scoping bugs that makes me a litte afraid of using it for serious stuff. It seems nixe and all, but this: https://github.com/biwascheme/biwascheme/issues/125 is not very confidemce inspiring.

    There is another schemey language that compiles to JS that accepts things like this:

  • racketscript

    Racket to JavaScript Compiler

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • gambit

    Gambit is an efficient implementation of the Scheme programming language.

    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.

  • schism

    A self-hosting Scheme to WebAssembly compiler (by schism-lang)

    There is a WIP unofficial project from developers at Google called Schism [1].
