The goal of this project is to provide an implementation of as much of R⁵RS compatible Scheme as possible, targeting the Java Virtual Machine. Scheme code is compiled directly into JVM bytecode.

Jeme will ideally be distributed as a self-hosting JAR file. Currently, MzScheme is used to bootstrap the compiler. To compile programs right now, download PLT Scheme.

If a main procedure is defined in the Scheme program, then it will be defined as the main method in the Java class. For example:

;; hello.scm (define (main args) (display "Hello, Jeme!") (newline))

And then to compile and run:

% mzscheme -t compiler.scm -m hello.scm % java hello Hello, Jeme!
