A Scheme interpreter written in Haskell from the Wikibook "Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours"

Write Yourself a Scheme

Description

This repo contains the source code for a little Scheme interpreter written in Haskell. It was written following along with the examples from a free Wikibook online called "Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours".

Each chapter's source code is included in a separate directory. Generally, the file names will correspond to the section headings within each chapter. Alongside the examples from the text are a number of unrelated functions that I wrote while playing around with Haskell here.

Compiling

Each file in this repository should compile. They were only tested on my laptop running OS X. On other operating systems your mileage may vary. Rather than compile the examples I tend to run them directly using runhaskell:

# Compile with GHC
$ ghc -o --make example example.hs
# Run the compiled binary
$ ./example
# Run the source file directly
$ runhaskell example.hs
