From: schiex@saturne.cert.fr (Thomas Schiex)
Subject: Lazy-Scheme.cpt.hqx
To moderators: This is the (hopefully) correct release of the last
Lazy-Scheme release with english documentation. It should replace the
previous one i posted THIS morning and that is BUGGED up beyond recognition.
Please note that i DID send a note to info-mac-request ! The archive should
go in the language (lang) directory.
Here is the text blurb to present Help (the lazy Scheme like language):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Help is a complete and efficient Scheme-like functionnal lazy Lisp
interpreter. It works only on 68020 (or more) based Macintoshs. It has a
'friendly' interface (parenthesis matcher, auto-indent), uses a full
call-by-need semantics and includes many examples, including a symbolic
compiler for the 680x0. Efficiency is good (fib 20 in 5.4" on a 68030/25Mhz
emulated Mac, 1.15" compiled... but compilation is impossible for the
vulgum pecus), bugs are few, if any (it has been intensively used by a
friend of mine), and lazyness is fully parametrable (you main turn Help
into a strict Scheme-like language if you like). French AND English updated
docs included in Word4 and plain text formats.
