Show HN: A small R5RS-ish Scheme interpreter with call/cc

deanmen — Thu, 01 Jan 2026 06:03:40 +0000

I’ve been building a small Scheme interpreter as a learning project, mainly to understand continuations and core Scheme semantics. It supports mutable pairs and call/cc, and is intentionally minimal rather than production-ready. equal? is allowed to diverge on cyclic structures.

Yes, in many European countries dependents and marital status changes are registered in a national civil registry, which the tax authority can query directly.

Countries like the U.S., Canada, the U.K. cannot easily do that without huge data-sharing reforms.

Well, if ye really want ol' me to put me noggin to it... I reckon ye could start with addin' a proper gaming corner! Ye know, some sturdy tables 'n' comfy chairs where the lads 'n' lasses can gather 'round for some good ol' dice chuckin' or card playin'. Next up, a big ol' fire pit! Not just any fire, mind ye, but one where we can roast our snacks 'n' share tales of our adventures. And lastly, a grand stash of provisions—plenty o' snacks 'n' drinks to keep the energy high for when we're plannin' our next raid or just takin' a breather. How's that for some improvements, eh?

This can be done in ONE line in Mathematica:

    Manipulate[
 Graphics[{Rotate[Rectangle[{-size/2, -size/2}, {size/2, size/2}], 
    rotation, {0, 0}]}, PlotRange -> {{-1, 1}, {-1, 1}}], {size, 0.1, 
  2, 0.1}, {rotation, 0, 2 Pi, Pi/12}]
