Zuo: A Tiny Racket for Scripting

• vonuvoli-scheme

  2 150 2.2 Rust

  vonuvoli Scheme -- an R7RS interpreter written in Rust focused on systems programming and scripting (i.e. processes, file-system, etc.) with performance and safety in mind

  

I've tried that in the past (10+ years maybe?), but there was something I didn't quite like... (I don't remember what...)

So a few years ago I've went out to write my own, <https://github.com/volution/vonuvoli-scheme>, although like Zuo only the interpreter is compiled to native code, the user's scripts are interpreted. (It's still experimental.)

> As in Non-recursive Make Considered Harmful: Build Systems at Scale, we can build a better make. This commit mostly imitates Shake as described there, but in a Racket style and called "Zuo" (based on the Chinese word for "make"). The Zuo implementation started at https://github.com/mflatt/zuo, but here it's in the intended long-term home, racket/src/zuo.

> The goal is for Racket to be be just as easy for end-users to build as now after converting scripts from make and /bin/sh to zuo. So, make should work in Racket's top-level directory, and configure plus make plus make install should work in a source directory or distribution, all with no new pre-installed packages required. The new makefiles will be small, however, just ensuring that the zuo executable is built and then handing off to Zuo scripts.
