The Scheme backend handles recursion better than the default Javascript backend. That means it never stack overflows in deep recursions.
Kind is distributed as a single binary executable. You can download it here.
1. There are many dependencies involved to build the Scheme release and we use nix to manage them. So first you need to install the latest version of nix.
2. After installing nix enable the flakes feature by adding
experimental-features = nix-command flakes
to either ~/.config/nix/nix.conf or /etc/nix/nix.conf. Restart your terminal for the change to take effect.
3. To build kind-scm navigate to the root of the repository and type
nix build .#kind-scm
Nix will build all the dependencies and place the executable inside the result folder. Subsequent builds will be much faster because the dependencies are already built.
If something doesn't work, let us know ;)
