Abstract | By the rise of JavaScript and AJAX based web applications, there is a new trend towards programming the web using unorthodox methods. One of those approaches is writing compilers which generate JavaScript applications from the native programming language of the programmer. While Scheme is one of the languages that is compiled to JavaScript, writing a compiler from Scheme to JavaScript is harder than most other languages because of the extraordinary feature-set of Scheme. One of the main missing parts is the implementation of the numeric tower of Scheme in JavaScript. This article presents the design and implementation of a JavaScript library which implements a Scheme-like numeric system which can be used by the afromentioned compilers and also by JavaScript programmers. |
