This is an Oaklisp source distribution. Oaklisp is a portable lisp interpreter / compiler for the Oaklisp dialect of lisp. Oaklisp is an object-oriented dialect of lisp sharing the standard lisp syntax, including common lisp style macros, first class types, multiple inheritance, and multiple namespaces (packages). Oaklisp is also a Lisp-1 dialect meaning functions and variables share the same namespace (like Scheme). The compiler compiles Oaklisp source code into byte-code for the included Oaklisp emulator / virtual machine. The system is best described in the included documentation. Oaklisp was written by Barak A. Pearlmutter and Kevin J. Lang. The original distribution is located at https://github.com/barak/oaklisp This clone of the distribution ( https://github.com/blakemcbride/oaklisp ) was created to accomplish the following: 1. make the system easy to build a. smooth out the makefiles b. include required binary files (oakworld.bin) c. include pre-built doc files 2. make the system easy to understand a. include easier build docs b. create a tutorial 3. future enhancements Once you get a copy of the system, see BUILD.txt for instructions on how to build the system.
