kawa - Scheme language implemented using on a Java VM
SYNOPSIS
kawa "[options]"
java kawa.repl "[options]"
"DESCRIPTION"
This manual page documents briefly the
kawa package, a Scheme dialect written completely in the Java language.
Scheme forms are compiled into Java bytecodes for efficiency.
Scheme is a high-level non-pure functional language in the Lisp family,
with lexical scoping dynamically-types.
The Kawa dialect of Scheme contains hooks to access and control Java objects.
Using the
kawa script is equivalent to invoking an interpreter of the Java language on the
"kawa.repl" class.
This manual page is just a quick synopsis.
For more information, read the
kawa " manual - see below."
