Bigloo is an implementation of the Scheme programming language. It relies on an optimizing compiler from Scheme to C. Bigloo enables connections between Scheme code and C code. It proposes many extensions to Scheme such as a regular parser compiler, an lalr parser compiler, pattern matching, an object layer, etc.

Recent releases


Changes: This version mostly fixes many bugs in the library functions and improves the Mac OS X port.


Changes: A new mail API has been added wit support for Maildir, IMAP, vcard, RFC 2045, RFC 2047, and RFC 2822. New compiler optimizations were implemented. New system APIs were added, including getuid/setuid, os-charset, socket-option, and get-protocols. New Makefiles that support parallel compilation were provided. This version has been successfully installed on a range of platforms.


Changes: A significant performance improvement was made for multi-threaded applications. Performance of the IO system was improved. New APIs have been added for cryptography and multimedia. New functions extend the existing APIs for things like dates, sockets, and IO.


Changes: This is a major release. It enhances the system with: support for exact arithmetic (with big numbers), a new version of the garbage collector (Boehm's collector v7.1), and a major improvement in the implementation of multi-threading.


Changes: Many library bugfixes (multimedia and Web). New APIs (e.g. for decoding MP3 files). Compatibility between the native backend and the JVM backend has been improved.
