  Bigloo
  
     <language> A Scheme interpreter, compiler and run-time system
      by Manuel Serrano <Manuel.Serrano@inria.fr> which aims
     to deliver small, fast stand-alone applications.  It
     supports modules and optimisation.  Bigloo's features
     enable Scheme programs to be used where C or C++ might
     usually be required.
  
     The Bigloo compiler produces ANSI C which is compiled into
     stand-alone executables, JVM bytecode, or .NET bytecode
     .  Hence Bigloo enables Scheme programs to interwork
     with C, Java and C# programs.
  
     Bigloo conforms to the IEEE Scheme standard with some
     extensions for regular expression handling.  It runs on
     Sun, Sony News, SGI, Linux, HP-UX and is easy to
     port to any Unix system.
  
     Current version: 2.6f, as of 2005-03-29.
