Subject: Scheme in the browser: A Hoot of a tale

Message-ID: <87bkd52gxb.fsf@dustycloud.org> (raw)
Friends, Guilers, Schemers, I am thrilled, pleased, et cetera to present
you with the following: Guile Hoot can now compile real r7rs-small
programs to code that runs in latest nightly browsers:
https://spritely.institute/news/scheme-wireworld-in-browser.html
You can try it yourself easily using Firefox or Chrome nightlies.
Guix users using the nonguix channel can give it a try like so:
guix shell google-chrome-unstable -- google-chrome-unstable \
https://spritely.institute/news/scheme-wireworld-in-browser.html
Now scroll down. You'll pass some Scheme code (wow, it's so clear and
readable!), you'll see some examples of Dave Thompson developing this
against the developer WASM VM that Hoot ships with (wait say WHAT?! yes
more on this soon), and then you'll see, in all its glory, a Wireworld
canvas that you can modify and interact with yourself.
And wait... is this running the scheme code right above it?!?! It sure
is.
We're doing it! Scheme in the browser is now a REAL THING! Not
compiling a VM, compiling the program directly to Webassembly, using the
browser's own GC, with tail call optimizations and all the things you
want.
Real. Scheme. In. The. Browser.
As a first class citizen!!!
The first release of Spritely's Hoot is coming soon. Get hyped. Get
HYPED!!!!
- Christine
PS: In the meanwhile, if you're brave enough, you can try the whole
toolkit yourself, with the example in the blogpost... we've got a guix
shell file and a texinfo manual and everything:
