LispPad Go is a simple, lightweight, integrated development environment for developing and running Scheme code on iOS. The language supported by LispPad Go is based on the R7RS standard of the Scheme programming language. LispPad Go provides the following components: • A fully integrated Scheme interpreter • A console with a read-eval-print loop to interact with the interpreter • A text editor for writing Scheme code, supporting syntax highlighting, smart indentation, parenthesis matching, etc. • A large range of libraries, including iOS-specific libraries e.g. for networking, graphics, audio, databases, archival, text processing, etc. • Support for the Shortcuts app, allowing the execution of LispPad programs as standalone applications The Scheme dialect supported by LispPad Go provides the following features: • R7RS-compliant libraries • Hygienic macros based on syntax-rules • First-class environments • call/cc, dynamic-wind and exceptions • Dynamically-scoped parameters • Multiple return values • Delayed execution via promises and streams • Support for the full numerical tower consisting of arbitrary size integers, rationals, real numbers, and inexact complex numbers. • Unicode strings and characters • Vectors and bytevectors • Text and binary ports • R7RS-compliant extensible records • R6RS-compliant hashtables and enumerations • Threads

About

SchemaHD

This app allows users to draw circuit diagrams for logic circuits, generating Verilog HDL and performing simulations. It simplifies FPGA development by using schematics instead of complex programming languages, offering advanced security and high-performance parallel processing.

Highlights
  • Draw logic circuit diagrams
  • Generate Verilog HDL
  • Perform circuit simulations
  • Touch-based wiring
  • AXI bus interface support
  • JSON import/export
  • Offline network operation

FPGAs can dynamically generate logic circuits by means of configuration bit streams generated by languages such as Verilog and VHDL. The generated logic circuit cannot be changed by communication data. Therefore, it is very safe and cannot be attacked by hacking, which is a problem with CPUs, to execute arbitrary commands. In addition, the generated logic circuits are all running simultaneously, so the highest performance parallel processing is being performed. It can also generate logic circuits using configuration bitstreams at very high speed. Most of the processing that can be done by the CPU can be done by the FPGA alone. With advanced security and the highest performace, FPGAs are the perfect device for the modern age. However, it takes a lot of effort to learn languages such as Verilog and VHDL. There are other methods such as high-level synthesis from C/C++, but they require a lot of adjustments such as #pragma, and do not maximize the capabilities of the FPGA. Schematics, not programming languages, are needed to maximize the capabilities of FPGAs and to further improve developer productivity. Schematics allow you to grasp the whole picture at a glance, and can perfectly represent parallel processing. SchemaHD is to draw a circuit diagram of a logic circuit, and it's possible to do generation of Verilog HDL and a simulation. A made circuit diagram can be used by a different circuit diagram immediately. You can also install wiring easily by touch operation. A concept of interface is adopted as a terminal, so something structured of a AXI bus can also be used. A terminal it's also possible to distinguish sound argument reason, negative logic and characteristic wiring of a clock and a reset by interface, and which is different in interface, they don't seem able to connect, it is. You can input and output as a JSON file, so the made circuit diagram and interface are also capable of cooperation with other application. Verilog HDL generated from a circuit diagram contains a comment of a terminal name and an instance name, so it's capable of the correspondence which is at the time of problem occurrence. A network connection isn't needed, so it's also effective in information leak prevention. A simple simulation is offered in the present, but it's expected to enhance it early.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: LispPad Go at 96% against SchemaHD's 50%. LispPad Go also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 7). SchemaHD's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SchemaHD sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. LispPad Go asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LispPad Go holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LispPad Go has 37 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 96% of LispPad Go's written reviews are positive against 50% of SchemaHD's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LispPad Go ships an update every 2 months, SchemaHD every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
