Cooking with Scheme

Motivation

After tireless hours of searching for a recipe management application that would allow me to upload my own recipes, I grew tired. Mostly due to the plethora of snazzy web apps that had rad recipe recommendations but only supported uploading ones own recipes if they were made publicly available and shared with other users. This, along with the fear of not being able to easily extract the recipes from these web services in case I would like to switch to another service, motivated me to write it all---and why not do it in Scheme?

What is this?

This repository contains as of now four things:

• Grammar for a DSL for cookbooks/recipes (much WIP)
• Parser for this DSL written in Scheme
• Compiler between the DSL and HTML
• Barebones Ruby-based (Sinatra) web-server for presenting recipes
