Hello, the only thematically related project that I know of is John Lenz's parrot backend for CHICKEN, which has a homepage at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~lenz/parrot/ and should also be mentioned somewhere in the archives of this mailing list or the perl.perl6.internals newsgroup. Generally speaking, a replacement of the runtime system should be possible, but maybe not desirable. I think that the special stack allocation technique employed by CHICKEN will probably integrate badly with most other language runtimes and that forcing the CHICKEN runtime on top of another system might incur quite a performance loss. For expert advice on the topic I'd ask Felix, though :) cu, Thomas _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
