Scheme48
Evaluation with respect to
Distributed Hypermedia Applications
Development Issues:
- Runtime Safety
- Yes, with runtime typechecks
- System Safety
- scheme48's module system would allow for
system safety ala Obliq or Safe-Tcl, but there's a lot of work to be
done. I think the folks at NEC are working on it.
- Thread-aware I/O
- Yes.
- Cross-Platform GUI API
- No.
- Module System
- Yes. Very original.
- Exceptions
- Yes, scheme errors and conditions.
- FFI
- marshal/unmarshal heap objects to C.
- TCP/IP API
- Yes.
- Flatten/Serialize/Pickle
- Hmmm...?
- Mobile Closures
- NEC folks are working on it, I think.
