For Inferno, look at: http://code.google.com/p/inferno-scheme It's best considered embryonic, and has been that way for a little while as I've been side-tracked by some other things. It's strictly an interpreter at this point, so it's going to be relatively slow. But on the upside, it's got an implementation of popen so that you can fire off other programs for it to talk to. If that external command is tkcmd, then you can easily do graphical stuff. I do plan to get back to it before long and give it some form of compiler and as part of that implement continuations and proper tail recursion. BLS
