As such, it does not offer IDEs or extensive toolkits +although it does sport a small top-level loop, included conditionally. +A lot of functionality in TinyScheme is included conditionally, +to allow developers freedom in balancing features and footprint. + +The compiled binary is installed as "tinyscheme" instead of "scheme" in +order to avoid possible conflicts with other Scheme implementations that +might be installed in the user's system. |
