1. Larceny

Larceny implements the Scheme programming language as defined by the Revised7 Report, the Revised6 Report, the Revised5 Report, and IEEE Standard 1178-1990. Those language standards serve as Larceny's primary documentation.

This manual describes aspects of Larceny that are not described by the Revised Reports or IEEE-1178. For the most current version of this manual, please see Larceny's online documentation page. For links to the Common Larceny User Manual and the Larceny mailing list, please visit Larceny's main web page.

To report bugs, please send email to the Larceny developers at <larceny@ccs.neu.edu>, or submit a bug ticket at Larceny's GitHub site.
