.NET interoperability

Common .NET type system

• Types used in IronScheme

Using IronScheme from .NET

• Embedding IronScheme in .NET apps
• Using IronScheme's extension methods
• Using IronScheme via remoting

Using .NET from IronScheme

• Syntactic interface

Additional features in the (ironscheme) library

• (ironscheme) macros
• (ironscheme) procedures

Running IronScheme

• Running IronScheme
• Command line options
• Debugging
• Running the webserver

Developing IronScheme

• Building the C# source
• Building the Scheme source

Known limitations

• call/cc does not support reifying continuations, iow the continuation must be called from the dynamic extent. Similar toRacket's call/ec
• due to above, multiple values are simulated and becomes a first class object
• Unicode code points larger than 0xffff are not supported (known as surrogate pairs in .NET)

Ideas for implementation

• Library packages/containers
• .NET 4.0 integration
• CPS Conversion
• Structures for a statically typed Scheme

Other

• Compilation transformation
