Meeting: Snow by example

Date: May 24, 2007
Speaker: Marc Feeley

Snow is a general framework for developing and distributing portable Scheme packages. Currently Snow packages can be run on a dozen of the most popular Scheme implementations including Bigloo, Chez, Chicken, Gambit, Gauche, Guile, Kawa, MzScheme, Scheme48, SCM, Scsh, and STklos. The repository contains packages for networking, cryptography, data compression, parsing, data structures, etc. In this talk I will present the main features of the Snow framework and explain briefly how the framework is implemented. Several examples will be given.
