Mes -- Maxwell Equations of Software
Mes is inspired by The Maxwell Equations of Software -- John McCarthy page 13
http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/LISP/book/LISP%201.5%20Programmers%20Manual.pdf
Its aim is to have GuixSD boostrap from a minimal trusted binary into
Scheme. The strategy is to use OrianJs self-hosting hex assembler to
write a minimal LISP called MES to bootstrap a full fledged Scheme,
written in MES.
Mes is free software, it is distributed unde the terms of the GNU
General Public Licence version 3 or later. See the file COPYING.
