Follow these instructions in order to run this app:
- 1. Downloaded this application in your PC.
- 2. Enter in our file manager https://www.onworks.net/myfiles.php?username=XXXXX with the username that you want.
- 3. Upload this application in such filemanager.
- 4. Start any OS OnWorks online emulator from this website, but better Windows online emulator.
- 5. From the OnWorks Windows OS you have just started, goto our file manager https://www.onworks.net/myfiles.php?username=XXXXX with the username that you want.
- 6. Download the application and install it.
- 7. Download Wine from your Linux distributions software repositories. Once installed, you can then double-click the app to run them with Wine. You can also try PlayOnLinux, a fancy interface over Wine that will help you install popular Windows programs and games.
Wine is a way to run Windows software on Linux, but with no Windows required. Wine is an open-source Windows compatibility layer that can run Windows programs directly on any Linux desktop. Essentially, Wine is trying to re-implement enough of Windows from scratch so that it can run all those Windows applications without actually needing Windows.

DESCRIPTION
Schism is an experimental compiler that translates Scheme programs into WebAssembly, allowing Scheme code to execute in both browser environments and server platforms like Node.js. Developed initially by Google researchers, the project was designed to explore the intersection of functional programming and WebAssembly’s low-level efficiency. Schism supports a subset of the R6RS Scheme standard and is self-hosting, meaning that the compiler itself is written in and compiled by Schism. Its architecture demonstrates advanced compiler design techniques such as staged compilation and snapshot-based bootstrapping. The project focuses on leveraging WebAssembly’s experimental capabilities, including reference types and tail calls, to test the limits of language portability and runtime performance. Though no longer actively maintained, Schism remains a valuable example of how high-level languages can be mapped to WebAssembly and offers insights into language implementation.
Features
- Experimental compiler translating Scheme programs into WebAssembly
- Self-hosting design that compiles and runs its own compiler
- Supports a subset of the R6RS Scheme standard for compatibility
- Uses staged bootstrapping from precompiled snapshots for development consistency
- Integrates with experimental WebAssembly features like tail calls and reference types
- Includes a lightweight in-browser playground for testing Scheme code interactively
Programming Language
JavaScript, Scheme, Unix Shell
