Add JazzScheme to implementations

Open codingbum opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

JazzScheme website hasn't been updated for years but the repository still get commits regularly. Since you have to build it yourself, i think it's better to link to the repository instead of the outdated website.

JazzScheme is a development system based on extending the Scheme programming language and the Gambit system. It includes a module system, hygienic macros, object-oriented programming, a full-featured cross-platform application framework, a fully programmable IDE and a build system that creates executable binaries for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. JazzScheme has been used for more than 20 years to develop commercial software.

I'm in favor of adding JazzScheme. But aren't the IDE and GUI libraries the main selling points? We should mention them.

We have a Docker container of the git master but it's Linux-based and IIRC doesn't have the GUI or IDE, or at least I haven't tried to run them.

I agree with @lassik - the IDE an GUI should be mentioned! Other than that, JazzScheme is fine, should be on the list.
