Kawa is a Scheme evaluator written completely in Java.
Scheme procedures are compiled into Java bytecodes for efficiency.

The release includes a number of useful classes, including
a package that makes it easy to create .class files, and
powerful Number classes that implement an extended numeric tower..

See the Kawa home page: http://www.cygnus.com/~bothner/kawa.html

The full sources and documentation are available at
ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/bothner/kawa-current.tar.gz.

The pre-compiled .class files (only) are in the same directory
in kawa-current-compiled.tar.gz.

Changes:

  Version 1.6.1 has many changes made since the last public release.

  ability to compile a stand-alone Scheme application (main);  various
  optimizations;  numerous new procedures;  and a better home page,
