R5RS support? #208

Open Same4254 opened 3 years ago

Same4254 commented 3 years ago

Okay, I know this is a VERY specific request. However, I have a discord server for the CS people at the university we go to. One of the freshmen courses is in Scheme (specifically R5RS). It's a really simple and minimal interpreted language that I don't think will pose many security problems. If it isn't too bad, could you add support for this language? Let me know if you need any additional information.

could you let me know where i can get an r5rs interpreter/compiler/whatever it uses? if so, i can add it.

So DrRacket is where to go for this. It is a suite of interpreters for the scheme family: https://racket-lang.org/

In order to run R5RS (a specific version of scheme that we use) you want the plt-r5rs command and provide it a file. They outline that here:

Let me know if you need any other info! Thanks a bunch!!!
