So, as someone who has experimented with several scheme interpreters / dialects / etc, I'm seeing how this is another scheme, and generally
it looks quite interesting in that regard, but I'm not seeing how it is a 'meta-dialect' and what exactly the 'post-modern' features are (or what either actually means)..
that said, the network / rpc / database facilities make this look like a good scripting scheme for microservices sorts of things
- snazz 7y agoI think it's "meta" because it's built on top of Gambit. Some of the features (actor model, MOP) are uncommon in Schemes. I'd be interested in a comparison of its integrated web framework to Awful from CHICKEN. I've used Awful and it was certainly not awful, but haven't tried Gerbil yet.
- rcarmo 7y agoI'm in the process of trying it out. So far it's quite trivial for REST/CRUD, have been focusing on other stuff.
- cryptonector 7y agoIt's meta because it has a meta-object protocol.
