gambit-objc

Objective-C bindings for Gambit Scheme.

Installing

Gambit scheme must be installed and in the path. At that point, it should be as easy as:

$ make install

objc-repl

objc-repl is a REPL with Objective-C support. You can use it like so:

$ objc-repl
Gambit v4.6.7

> (import-classes (NSString))
> (define s [NSString stringWithUTF8String: "Hello, World!"])
> (define x [NSString stringWithUTF8String: " -- Yay!"])
> (define y [s stringByAppendingString: x])
> [y UTF8String]
"Hello, World! -- Yay!"
>

Square Braces

Gambit has the ability to read square braces and insert a symbol. The ':' symbol is what Objective-C uses to map to Objective-C calls. The first two lines of bin/objc-repl.scm demonstrates how to set this up.

The reader must be set up before any source is read. This might work with gsc's -prelude option.
