COOK is a software build-automation tool made with a goal of letting you, the programmer, to utilize the most elegant and powerful programming language - Common Lisp - for managing your software builds. You write a recipe file which describes what objectives must be constructed. COOK will load and process this file, then produce either a regular Makefile or a Bourne Shell script, which will actually perform the task of building and installing your targets.

...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. ...
