The Programming Language Crow

Crow is a big-step purely interpreted dialect of Scheme. It was created to port a modern language to older computers as well as to serve as a test bed for programming language experiments. Crow is fast, small, and light-weight, enabling it to run on anything from an Arduino to a super computer. Memory is kept clean using a tri-color-marking garbage collector which works quicky and efficiently in the background. Foreign functions are right at home, thanks to the robust foreign function interface API, now any language can easily coexist! All of this comes together to make Crow one lean mean lambda machine!

Crow hasn't seen any serious development work in a while. Most of this stems from Crow's scope becoming blurred with each experiment that was run on it. I have been considering resurrecting Crow, however, its core platform code will need to be heavily reworked to fit the direction I would like it to go. Keep checking back for more updates.

Downloads

Crow never had traditional downloads, however it can be found on Github. It is recommended to build the core-rewrite branch, as it contains the most up to date version of the language.
