Hello,

I am using version 2.4 of Maru programming language [1]. It has a lot of
functionality and with code length less than 100 pages in format A4, it is
like a textbook for programming. Does anyone experiment to add
functionality to Maru for dealing with keyboard events? I mean to get
information when a key is pressed and released. Other Lisp implementations
use external libraries [2, 3]. I suppose this topic will be addressed as
pointed in the STEPS Report 2011 [4]. The report suggests a complete system
that may replace the linux kernel and it has to deal with keyboard events.
But anyway, I am interested to write such an extension to Maru.
Unfortunately my research suggests that implementing this in Maru is not
possible without using external library. I will be glad if you can give me
some directions.

Regards,

Iliya Georgiev
