Is that possible to embbed Scheme(lisp) interpreter into iPhone app?

Question

Hi. I'm finding embeddable Scheme interpreter(or JIT compiler or anything) into Cocoa Touch. I think just a C compatible Scheme engine may be fine. Please recommend some. I wish it's MIT/BSD style free license, but commercials are fine too.

And.. does Apple AppStore allow embedded scripting like Scheme?

Answer 1

You could do this so long as there was no DOWNLOADED or USER-ENTERED script/code. If all you were using Scheme for was internal scripting, that would be allowed.

Answer 2

You may be interested in Gambit Scheme.

For your second question: No, Apple doesn't allow interpreted code to run in your application.

EDIT

Ben Gottlieb is right, you cannot run user-scripts in your app, but internal code interpretation is supposed to be okay.

Answer 3

I believe TinyScheme is used by the GIMP for its script-fu. It's also BSD-licensed.
