Re: [9fans] off-topic: "small is beautiful" article

Nils Holm's Scheme interpreter @ http://t3x.org/s9fes has
been available for a few months now.  It runs on plan9 though
not on inferno.  Like Chibi-scheme it too is fairly small.
(about 5.5Klocs of C, 1.4Klock of Scheme).

I am more interested in Gambit as it is one of the fastest
Scheme implementations and supposed to be easy to port. See
http://jlongster.com/blog/2009/06/17/write-apps-iphone-scheme/
Though I suspect a port to plan9 may be harder than iphone.
