This is an implementation of (a subset of) R5RS Scheme, written in Haskell. I undertook this project as an attempt to actually learn Haskell, which I've been meaning to do for a while, and I feel that implementing and interpreter is a really great way to exercise many parts of a programming language simultaneously. Since this project is mostly for my own personal, pedagogical purposes, it isn't intended to be complete or production-ready.
Parts of this codebase are inspired by the fantastic "Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours."
- Fundamental Scheme types (i.e. integers, symbols, booleans, etc.)
- Variables
- Lambda expressions
- Tail-call optimization
