A Lisp Driver to be embedded in Java Applications

by Taiichi Yuasa

This system is a Scheme interpreter written in Java. It is intended to be embedded in Java applications but it can also be used as a stand-alone Scheme system. The goals of the system are:

easy to add, delete, and modify functionalities even for Java programmers without implementation know-how
easy to add functions to handle Java components
compact
with mimimum debugging facility
acceptable performance

The original JAKLD does not support tail recursive optimization. If you want a tail-recrusive version, use this (215KB TAR file).

If you want to use JAKLD for SICP exercises, use this (46.5KB JAR file), which supports the picture language of SICP. It's sources are found here (195KB TAR file). Brief documents are available in English (6KB Plain Text) and in Japanese (6KB Plain Text).
