- Title: avram
- Version: @VERSION@
- Entered-date: @ISODATE@
- Description: An acronym for "Applicative ViRtuAl Machine", avram
- is a virtual machine code interpreter. It reads an input file
- containing a user-supplied application expressed in virtual machine
- code, and executes it on the host machine. Notable features are strong
- support for functional programming operations (e.g., list processing),
- interoperability of virtual code applications with other console
- applications or shells through libexpect, the ability to package
- virtual code applications conveniently as self contained shell
- scripts, and a choice of operating modes providing for either a simple
- high-level interface to files, environment variables and command line
- arguments, or various styles of stateless or persistent stream
- processors (a.k.a. filters). The intended audience is writers of
- compilers for programming, scripting, or special purpose languages,
- whose projects stand to gain portability and ease of implementation.
- The package includes a toy compiler for a simple lisp-like language
- as a proof of concept.
