Kawa is similar: it does have eval, but eval is by default implemented to always compile-and-load. An exception is on Android: run-time compilation is not supported on Android, because it doesn't support standard ClassLoader.defineClass. So there we use an interpreter for eval, load, and the repl. -- --Per Bothner per@x http://per.bothner.com/ _______________________________________________ Scheme-reports mailing list Scheme-reports@x http://lists.scheme-reports.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scheme-reports
