<h1>Mini-Scheme</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>Mini-Scheme (which goes by the filenames
|
||
|
|
<code>minischeme</code> and <code>miniscm</code>) is at once one
|
||
|
|
of the tiniest and earliest Scheme implementations. Its obscure
|
||
|
|
beginnings and the several independent forks started in the
|
||
|
|
decades since have led to a confusing family tree which this page
|
||
|
|
tries to untangle.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2>Original versions from Japan</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>The original author of Mini-Scheme is mathematician Atsushi
|
||
|
|
Moriwaki from Kyoto University. After he stopped working on the
|
||
|
|
program, his compatriot Akira Kida maintained it for five
|
||
|
|
years.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Information about these early versions is found in the
|
||
|
|
<code>README</code> file of version 0.85k4. The file says the
|
||
|
|
program is based on an article <em>SCHEME Interpreter in Common
|
||
|
|
Lisp</em> which was published in Japan as an appendix of T.
|
||
|

Matsuda & K. Saigo, <em>Programming of LISP</em>, archive No 5
|
||
|
|
(1987) p6 - p42.</p>

<h2>TinyScheme</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>The well-known implementation TinyScheme started off as a
|
||
|
|
Mini-Scheme fork but has been refactored and extended so much
|
||
|
|
that the name was changed.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2>Archival</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Releases of the various Mini-Scheme forks are archived at
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://files.scheme.org/">files.scheme.org</a> using a
|
||
|
|
file naming convention which includes the maintainer's handle as
|
||
|
|
well as a version number or release date.</p>
