Chibi is about the same size, and unlike TinyScheme is a real Scheme with hygienic macros and a fast VM (TinyScheme is hopelessly slow). It also has features like Huffman compressed immediate symbols to further reduce runtime heap usage - the raw image size isn't the whole story.
- jasox 14y agoCan Chibi(R7RS) be used in real world applications ?, and I am curious do you know when can we expect R7RS large spec to be finish.
- kishi 14y agoIt depends on what you mean by real world applications, but Chibi has many features including threads, networking and an FFI suitable for any application. R7RS large will have even more libraries. It will be complete when it's completed, but many of the individual libraries will be usable before then.
- jasox 14y agoThanks for answer, I want to make a simple game in scheme, so I am considering chibi, maybe I need to try somehow to add opengl binding. I know there is other implementations but I want to try chibi (r7rs) :)
