Mini-Scheme

+

Mini-Scheme (which goes by the filenames + minischeme and miniscm) 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.

+

Original versions from Japan

+

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.

+

Information about these early versions is found in the + README file of version 0.85k4. The file says the + program is based on an article SCHEME Interpreter in Common + Lisp which was published in Japan as an appendix of T. + Matsuda & K. Saigo, Programming of LISP, archive No 5 + (1987) p6 - p42.

TinyScheme

+

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.

+

Archival

+

Releases of the various Mini-Scheme forks are archived at + files.scheme.org using a + file naming convention which includes the maintainer's handle as + well as a version number or release date.
