Ale is a Lisp Environment
Ale is a Lisp Environment written in Go.
How To Install
Make sure your GOPATH is set, then run go get to retrieve the package.
go get gitlab.com/kode4food/ale/cmd/ale
How To Run A Source File
Once you've installed the package, you can run it from GOPATH/bin like so:
ale somefile.lisp
# or
cat somefile.lisp | ale
How To Start The REPL
Ale has a very crude Read-Eval-Print Loop that will be more than happy
to start if you invoke ale with no arguments from your shell.
Current Status
Still a work in progress, and the compiler is pretty fragile, but that will change rapidly. The language is slowly moving in the direction of being partially R6RS compatible. Find out more at Ale's Home
