Bigloo

Bigloo is a Scheme system devoted to one goal: enabling Scheme based programming style where C(++) is usually required. Bigloo attempts to make Scheme practical by offering features usual to traditional programming languages but unusual to Scheme and functional programming:

  • An extended foreign interface
  • An object oriented system
  • A batch compiler
  • An explicit type system and compile time type mismatch detections
  • Simple exceptions
  • Practical IOs by the means of lexing and parsing tools
