Shentong is a Haskell implementation of [[http://www.shenlanguage.org][Shen]], a modern Lisp family

programming language which includes many advanced and interesting

features. The name is thematically in keeping with that of /shen/, a

construct from another esoteric religion.

Package dependencies are:

+ mtl

+ unordered-containers

+ uniplate

+ parallel

+ hashmap

Shentong runs on a fully native Haskell backend directly ported from

the backend written in Shen's kernel language, K Lambda. It is

licensed under BSD 3.  If cabal is not used to compile the sources,

the GHC compiler option *-fno-full-laziness* must be used, as in

  : ghc -O2 Shen.hs -fno-full-laziness

The current supported version is *Shen 20*.

* Try it

  : $> git clone https://github.com/mthom/shentong.git

  : $> cd shentong

  : $> cabal sandbox init

  : $> cabal install

  : $> cd .cabal-sandbox/bin

  : $> ./shen

or install it through Hackage:

  : $> cabal install shentong

  : $> ./shen
