We are excited to announce the release of Hoot 0.6.0! Hoot is a Scheme to WebAssembly compiler backend for Guile, as well as a general purpose WebAssembly toolchain. In other words, Scheme in the browser!

If you like what Spritely is doing with Hoot or any of our other projects, please consider showing your appreciation with a donation! We recently hit our initial fundraising goal of $80,000 USD and announced a stretch goal. For the stretch goal, we will use Hoot to build a learning environment for Goblins and advance Hoot’s live hacking abilities in the process.

Monthly supporters at the silver, gold, and diamond tiers will have their names featured in the credits of Cirkoban, a small web game built with Hoot, as a display of our gratitude.

Much improved weak hashtable support in (hoot hashtables). Weak key hashtables have been reimplemented in Scheme rather than using JavaScript’s WeakMap and are now iterable, as they are in Guile. Weak key hashtables now have company: Weak value and doubly weak hashtables have been added. The Guile legacy hashtable API has likewise been updated to support all forms of weak hashtables. As a bonus, we also have weak vectors thanks to a contribution from Vivianne Langdon.
