Well, one simple way for you to get hands-on experience is probably to download Andre's distribution from his website and just use it directly. This is what I would recommend, since that way you can switch from Larceny to MzScheme as I assume Andre does. I won't make any predictions about when the next Larceny release will be or what features it will sport. Having said that, I have now upgraded to the July 31st distribution of the VanTonderMacros and incorporated them into our lib/ VanTonderMacros directory. So if you use the subversion trunk of Larceny, you can also play with it there. As far as I can tell, the tests that Andre provides in examples.scm seem to work for us; this is how I tested it: % ./larceny Larceny v0.94 "Doomsday Device" (Aug 1 2007 12:51:44, precise:Linux:unified) larceny.heap, built on Wed Aug 1 12:53:28 EDT 2007 > (current-directory "lib/VanTonderMacros") 0 > (load "examples.scm") ... (mucho output elided) ... Note that the $ex:repl procedure provided by Andre isn't exactly what I would consider an interactive repl; I consider it more of a whole program eval procedure. In the process of doing the upgrade to the newer distribution, I have removed the interactive repl functionality that I had previously hacked into his original code. I may look into adding an interactive repl again in the future (where the repl would allow one to import a library L at one prompt and later refer to bindings imported from L at a later prompt), but it is not an immediate goal for me. -Felix _______________________________________________ Larceny-users mailing list Larceny-users@lists.ccs.neu.edu https://lists.ccs.neu.edu/bin/listinfo/larceny-users
