JVM Scheme Abstract Syntax Tree access

There are a number of Scheme implementations running on the JVM (e.g. JScheme, Kawa).

Do any of them support both of: a) Two-way interoperability with Java. b) Access to the AST for a Scheme expression?

Solution

  • Kawa has two-way interoperability.

    From Kawa Features:

    Full convenient and efficient access to the huge set of Java libraries means you can access objects, methods, fields, and classes without run-time overhead.

    From "Evaluating Scheme expressions from Java"

    The following methods are recommended if you need to evaluate a Scheme expression from a Java method.

    How the Scheme types are represented in Java are described here:

    "Scheme types in Java"
