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. On Thu, 25 Jun 2009 08:53:11 PDT David Leimbach wrote: > > COOL!
