An unfinished Kernel-like Lisp environment (c. 2013), preserved here for the curious

Poly

Poly is a neat little gal who stands on the shoulders of giants:

• Kernel
• Haskell
• Python

Features

• fexprs (≈ first-class macros)
• pattern matching
• immutable data structures
• built-in web REPL

Requirements

• Python 3.3+
• virtualenv
• rlwrap (optional, for command line REPL)

Install it

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/jdanford/poly.git

Make a virtualenv

virtualenv -p python3.3 poly

Activate the virtualenv

cd poly
source bin/activate

Install required packages

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the REPL from the command line

./run repl

...or a web browser

./run server [port]

Hack on it

Run static/build-assets to recompile the CoffeeScript and LESS files
