* Package name : kawa Version : 2.1 Upstream Author : Per Bothner <p...@bothner.com> * URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/ * License : MIT/X Programming Lang: Java, Scheme Description : general-purpose programming language of the lisp family, that runs on the Java platform Kawa aims to combine: * the benefits of dynamic scripting languages (non-verbose code with less boiler-plate, fast and easy start-up, a REPL, no required compilation step); with * the benefits of traditional compiled languages (fast execution, static error detection, modularity, zero-overhead Java platform integration). It is an extension of the long-established Scheme language, which is in the Lisp family of programming languages. Kawa is also a useful framework for implementing other programming languages on the Java platform. It has many useful utility classes. Maintaining this package shouldn't be hard as it compiles and runs on debian without quirks and tricks, with few dependencies. I have been a contributor and user of the project.
