A collection of scripts and mini-projects, hopefully a few will become something meaningful. See the rundown section for a description of what's in this repo, and some projects may have their own Replit that one can fork and experiment with.

autodiff.scmis a short automatic differentiation library that comes with a repl. Its whole thing is being able to evaluate derivatives at a point, but the derivatives it prints out are in s-exps and can't be further manipulated. To get started, once in the program's repl, run the:hcommand. Writeup Replit
autodiff.scmshould be R5RS compliant, so it should work on any R5RS Scheme. I'd recommend chicken as I am most familiar with it. I made a replit for it too, but one needs to sign up to run it. Gambit is also a fantastic option, and it has a web version, though it makes the autodiff repl look weird, so it needs the following patch:
;; Patch for running on try.gambitscheme.org
;; Replace the readrepl function with this one.
(define (readrepl)
(display ">> ")
(flush-output-port) ; flush port to make sure the prompt is displayed
(read))
