What Is Common Larceny?
Common Larceny is a variant of Larceny, a simple and efficient run-time system for Scheme. It is built to run on the ECMA Common Language Infrastructure (CLI). In Common Larceny, Scheme code is compiled to Common Intermediate Language, and is then assembled into bytecode for execution by native just-in-time (JIT) compilers. When used in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET Framework, which includes an implementation of the CLI, the Common Language Runtime, Common Larceny provides an interface to the .NET Framework class library, allowing developers to take full advantage of dozens of predefined classes designed to facilitate application development.
