[Jscheme-user] Questions

[Joseph T. <jj...@ed...>]

Hi,

I don't know if this is a JScheme question or just a scheme question, 
but I was wondering why (if (apply and '(#t #f)) #t #f) returns #t ?

Why doesn't the command line interpreter recognize many of the special 
forms as being bound ?

This is more of a "just curious how other people do it" sort of question:
How do people use JScheme? Is it Scheme with a nice set of libraries? A 
looser java-ish scripting language? Somewhere in between? How do people 
choose where the Scheme ends and the Java begins? Is that time 
dependent, i.e. does code migrate from Scheme to Java or visa versa?

At my company we write CAD software for the wireless industry, placing
transmitter sites, assigning channels, etc..
We use JScheme to allow our legacy C++ code base to control a JVM that 
currently runs some secondary utilities, but will become more important 
as we try to port the C++ to Java. The combination of Scheme and JavaDot 
provides a nice regular syntax that doesn't frighten C++ programmers too 
much, and of particular importance to me is that I didn't have to hack 
together a scripting language!
