Ribbit
Ribbit: An Portable Platform for Language Interoperability
Ribbit is an extensible compiler for the Scheme (and soon, Lua) language designed to be portable across vastly different computing environments. This is done by generating compact and embeddable executables that can be extended with the target language when necessary. Currently, Ribbit supports 25 targets with interoperability to each of them, allowing execution inside Web applications, memory-constrained microcontrollers, POSIX-shell scripts and most common programming languages.
The next milestone in the Ribbit project is to support Lua and the R7RS Scheme standard as input languages. This will enable full interoperability between Scheme, Lua and any of the 25 languages currently supported by Ribbit. This is a first step in proving Ribbit's viability as a universal platform for language interoperability.
