## README

Bob is a suite of implementations of the Scheme language in Python and C++. It currently
includes the following Python components:

* A Scheme interpreter
* An implementation of a stack-based virtual machine called the "Bob VM"
* A compiler from Scheme to Bob VM bytecode
* A serializer and deserializer for Bob VM bytecode
* A compiler from Scheme to WebAssembly

In addition, Bob comes with another version of the VM, implemented in C++. It's
called "BareVM". Bob itself is a fully usable implementation of Scheme in pure
Python; BareVM is an optional component.

There's some documentation in the ``doc/`` directory in the source.
