# Support various Scheme implementations in a standard way under POSIXoids.
# The thing with Scheme (<= R5RS) is that, well, it's never been big on
# defining its relationship with the environment. The result is that rarely
# do you find two Scheme implementations that are invoked the same way and
# produce output the same way. This script attempts to handle at least a few
# implementations so that they all behave like this:
# scheme-adapter.sh prelude.scm expression.scm
# The contents of the file prelude.scm are evaluated as a Scheme program.
# Then the contents of the file expression.scm are evaluated as a Scheme
# expression, in the context of having evaluated prelude.scm, and the
# resulting value is printed to standard output, followed by a newline.
# When the resulting value is printed, quoted S-expressions are not
# abbreviated with the ' symbol. Instead (quote ...) is printed verbatim.
# Example:
# % echo '(define (plus x y) (+ x y))' > prelude.scm
# % echo '(plus 1 2)' > expression.scm
# % scheme-adapter.sh prelude.scm expression.scm
# 3
# %
# As a special case, if the first argument is "/dev/null", no prelude.scm
# program will be evaluated.
# No output from evaluating the prelude.scm program will be produced unless
# it specifically calls (display ...) or the like.
# Some caveats apply (Protip: some caveats *always* apply.)
# This script simply delegates to a wrapper script. To find these wrapper
# scripts, 'realpath' is needed.
# This script currently provides support for four Scheme implementations
# (plt-r5rs, huski, tinischeme, miniscm) and two Pixley implementations
# (mignon and haney) (which obviously aren't full Scheme implementations so
# don't bother trying them on anything besides Pixley programs.) Select
# the implementation of Scheme that you wish to use by setting the
# environment SCHEME_IMPL to one of the supported values. See the individual
# wrapper scripts, in the wrapper subdirectory, for more information.
# I was going to support chibi-scheme
# ( http://code.google.com/p/chibi-scheme/ ), but after some back-
# and-forth on whether it supports R5RS or not, the maintainer has
# said that "chibi is an R7RS scheme". Since Pixley is not a subset
# of R7RS in any good sense, I dropped it.
#
# I was also going to support Bootstrap Scheme
# ( https://github.com/petermichaux/bootstrap-scheme ), but it turned
# out that Bootstrap Scheme doesn't even support let*, which is one
# of the core forms in Pixley; so if I did support it, it would only
# be able to run Pi[f]xlety, etc., and it just didn't seem worth it.
# So I dropped it too.
#
# I may change my mind on either or both of these in the future, but
# for now, they're not supported.
#
# If you have another implementation of Scheme you would like to
# support, please do feel free to contribute a wrapper for it.
