...Developed initially by Google researchers, the project was designed to explore the intersection of functional programming and WebAssembly’s low-level efficiency. Schism supports a subset of the R6RS Scheme standard and is self-hosting, meaning that the compiler itself is written in and compiled by Schism. Its architecture demonstrates advanced compiler design techniques such as staged compilation and snapshot-based bootstrapping. The project focuses on leveraging WebAssembly’s experimental capabilities, including reference types and tail calls, to test the limits of language portability and runtime performance. ...
