If you want real Scheme (rather than just lisp-like) you could try Kawa. I have not tried either one, though. It's allegedly possible to compile Kawa with gcj. Would be interesting to have the best of all 3 worlds - some compiled code for speed, plus a VM for compatibility with Java class files you might want to re-use, plus a Scheme interpreter. But no idea if it's practical, not having tried it... _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
