    Discontinued A self-hosting Scheme to WebAssembly compiler

  • wisp

    Lisp in WebAssembly (by mbrock)

  • There have been some new efforts recently to target WASM in a Lisp. Wisp, which is written in Zig, compiles to WASM. You could also use something like Rust or C.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • IchigoLisp

    LISP 1.5(-ish) implementation in WebAssembly

  • Ichigo does just that in an attempt at a faithful recreation of LISP 1.5. Seems to detail it more here, but you'll have to rely on a translation assuming you don't understand Japanese.

  • mal

    mal - Make a Lisp

  • If you are new to Lisp compiler/interpreter, I'd recommend Mal (Make a Lisp). It contains a well-structured guide spec and various implementations in different languages. So you are able to learn it quickly in your favorite language.

  • marwood

    An embeddable Scheme R7 Compiler & Runtime written in Rust

  • Check out this project marwood that started recently with is Scheme WASM compiler written in Rust. It's a new project so it probably will be simple to get familiar with.

  • 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.
