In addition to support for lightweight +VM-based threads, each VM itself runs in an isolated heap allowing multiple VMs +to run simultaneously in different OS threads. + +The default language is an extended subset of the current draft R7RS Scheme, +with support for all libraries. + +The system is designed in optional layers, beginning with a VM based on a small +set of opcodes, a set of primitives implemented in C, a default language, a +module system implementation, and a set of standard modules. You can choose +whichever layer suits your needs best and customize the rest. Adding your own +primitives or wrappers around existing C libraries is easy with the C FFI. + +Chibi is known to build and run on 32 and 64-bit Linux, FreeBSD, DragonFly, OS +X, iOS, Windows (under Cygwin) and Plan9. |
