Black Hole (“BH”) is a module system abstraction for Gambit providing recurring module file dependency compilation and loading, including export of macros, for regular R5RS Scheme.
Read further in the Introduction section of the documentation, found below.
Download
Its latest version is avilable via GIT, and can be downloaded using GIT by
- git clone git://github.com/pereckerdal/blackhole.git
There are also some libraries for Black Hole at
- git clone git://github.com/pereckerdal/blackhole-libs.git
or non-automatically, probably very old copy here.
Make sure you put the blackhole-libs into a directory called "std" in ~~/lib/modules
Documentation
Core documentation: PDF, OpenOffice and Microsoft Word
Bundled libraries documentation: PDF, OpenOffice and Microsoft Word
(The tutorial for the alpha release can still be found on http://mwaza.dyndns.org/apps/files/bh-tutorial.html .)
Bundled libraries
BH is bundled with a set of general purpose libraries, including:
- SRFI 1 (list processing), 13 (string), 14 (character sets), 16 (case-lambda support), 19 (time data types and procedures), 95 (sorting) and MORE (check the repository)
- pregexp, hash digestion, base64 handling, UUID generator
- HTTP client, server, URI and session variable handling
- XML<->SXML routines
- FIFO queue, mailbox, weight balanced tree, erlang-style list matcher
- String, u8vector, list, exception handling helper libraries
- let-optionals support
BH's core is completely independent of the bundled libraries, and can be separated from them without any modifications.
See the documentation for more information.
Additional libraries
Termite: A version suited for usage in Black Hole is found at GitHub, http://github.com/pereckerdal/termite/tree/master.
Blackhole-web: More extensions to BlackHole for use as a web framework are here: http://github.com/jonnay/Blackhole-web. Currently it is just a copy of SSAX-SXML, but more are planned. Check the Blackhole-web.org file for more information on what is to be done, and what is planned.
