envlang: an experimental language with first-class environments🔗ℹ

Suzanne Soy <racket@suzanne.soy>

 (require envlang/rkt) package: envlang

An implementation which "escapes" to the Racket library for a certain number of basic building blocks

#lang s-exp envlang/rkt

See test-rkt for examples

 (require envlang/tiny) package: envlang

An implementation which starts with a tiny set of primitives, and builds the basic building blocks using those. The building blocks (lists, strings, associative tables) are built in a naive and inefficient way.

#lang s-exp envlang/tiny
