Yes, for the R7RS small language. And a very nice one! Alex has been very open and responsive about integrating plan9 related fixes.

I'd like to see a native code compiling Scheme impl on plan9 as well but that can wait until we have some useful code that would benefit from any compilation speed up! Till then Chibi is plenty good!
