The miniature, embeddable R7RS Scheme implementation in Rust
Stak Scheme aims to be:
- An embeddable Scheme interpreter for Rust with very small memory footprint and reasonable performance
- Its virtual machine (VM) is written in only 1.5 KLOC in Rust.
- The minimal implementation of [the R7RS-small standard][r7rs-small]
- A subset of [Chibi Scheme](https://github.com/ashinn/chibi-scheme), [Gauche](https://github.com/shirok/Gauche), and [Guile](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/)
- A portable scripting environment that supports even no-`std` and no-`alloc` platforms
For the usage and examples, see [the documentation](https://raviqqe.com/stak/install).
