I Wrote a Scheme in 2025

3 months ago

The author announces the first version (0.1.0) of their Scheme implementation, scheme-rs.
scheme-rs has completed 2258 tests in the R6RS test suite, marking it stable enough for a first release.
Originally async-only, scheme-rs now supports both async and sync contexts without compromising async functionality.
The author hints at future work, including building a new strongly typed language on top of scheme-rs, possibly using calculus of constructions.
The project began during a period of unemployment, serving as a means to rediscover the author's passion for computer science and improve their confidence in software engineering.
scheme-rs significantly impacted the author's life, leading to personal growth and a job they love at OneChronos.
The author encourages others to undertake challenging projects like scheme-rs for personal and professional development.
