Scheme Programming Libraries for Production Engineering Tasks
By
ufko_org
Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
This article presents a collection of libraries and extensions for using the Scheme programming language as a practical production tool for systems engineers and programmers. The author aims to replace Perl with Scheme for daily tasks like file parsing, report generation, process monitoring, and GUI wrapper creation. The content represents the author's personal project to make Scheme more accessible for practical engineering work.

· 4 pulledThis page is a collection of libraries and extensions to use Scheme as a production tool.
By 'production tools' I mean the tools to process daily chores for systems engineers and programmers---parsing files, generate reports, watching processes, providing small GUI wrappers, and all sorts of those things.
Currently I'm using Perl for those purpose, but I'm always longing to use Scheme for them.
Most stuffs in this site are done as my private project at home.
