With pull request #50 the Schemacs Elisp interpreter is now able to load all of two very important Emacs Lisp source files:
…which are two files that define most of what you could call the the Emacs Lisp “core” language (by which I mean macros like defun and lambda).
With these files now loaded, I can proceed to the next task, which is implementing enough of the C-level built-in functions in Scheme to be able to run ./lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-lib.el, which is in-turn one of the dependencies for running the Emacs Regression Tests (ERT) suite.
Once ERT is up and running, it will be much easier for anyone to contribute code to this project as you will just be able to pick a failing regression test and write whatever code is necessary to make it pass.
