kawa

Java framework and implementation of Scheme, Elisp, and more

GNU Kawa is an implementation of the Scheme programming language that is built on top of the Java platform. It is thus conveniently integrated with Java and benefits from this by having a compiler, optional static typing, and so on. Kawa also serves as a framework for implementing other programming languages on the Java platform. Included in Kawa is qexo, a partial implementation of XQuery in Java.
