BLisp

BLisp is a statically typed Lisp like programming language which adopts effect system for no_std environments. BLisp supports higher order RPC like higher order functions of functional programming languages.

This repository provides only a library crate. Please see blisp-repl to use BLisp, and baremetalisp which is a toy OS.

Features

• Algebraic data type
• Generics
• Hindley–Milner based type inference
• Effect system to separate side effects from pure functions
• Big integer
• Supporting no_std environments

How to Use

use blisp;

fn main() {
    let code = "(export factorial (n) (Pure (-> (Int) Int))
    (if (<= n 0)
        1
        (* n (factorial (- n 1)))))";
    let exprs = blisp::init(code, vec![]).unwrap();
    let ctx = blisp::typing(exprs).unwrap();

    let e = "(factorial 10)";
    blisp::eval(e, &ctx).unwrap();
}

If Rust compiler or linker says warning of fmod, please add fmod manually as follows.

#[no_mangle]
extern "C" fn fmod(x: f64, y: f64) -> f64 {
    libm::fmod(x, y)
}
