Microscheme Literature

A functional programming language for the Arduino

Microscheme was originally a final-year undergraduate project, and had to be closed-source for examination purposes. The project has changed since then, and there have been rapid improvements since it was made open-source. However, much of the information in the original dissertation is still relevant.

More recently, a short paper was prepared for the Scheme and Functional Programming workshop, containing a concise exposition of the Microscheme runtime system, and some of the considerations necessary for very resource-constrained platforms such as the ATMega controllers. This paper was very kindly presented by Will Byrd.
