Runs on "bare metal" on the Nintendo DS (with a bit of work). There is a distribtued programming extension for Gambit called "Termite" that uses the same approach as Erlang as well. Very neat stuff :-). I nearly used Gambit at work on an embedded platform, but had some difficulty with the port I was trying to make work so I never proved out the concept completely.

(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

Though I suspect a port to plan9 may be harder than iphone.
