PreScheme

PreScheme or Pre-Scheme is a statically-typed dialect of Scheme with the efficiency and low-level machine access of C while retaining many of the desirable features of Scheme.

The PreScheme compiler is a part of Scheme48.

Variants

Macro-Free PreScheme

Obtained from Full PreScheme by expanding all macros.

Pure PreScheme

A tail-recursive, closure-free dialect of PreScheme, obtained from Macro-Free PreScheme by hoisting lambda expressions and beta expansion.

VLISP PreScheme

Simple PreScheme
