Yeah a deep understanding of Gambit internal system would be really helpful when dealing with any macrology / module systems..

My last attempt was mostly an rewrite against riaxpander line by line in gambit and it's mostly working (successfully loading chibi's init.scm and passed its r7rs test suite).
While to produce more informative syntax mistake, it needs work to dive into gambit's source handling & internal symbols management..

Sadly have to do something to make a living after graduation :(

I think the topic of this thread is very important indeed. I completely relate to Marc's position: there is only so much you can do. And eventually we all have to do something to make a living, which unfortunately for many of us is not 100% Gambit-related.

Also, SchemeSpheres is ready to use R7RS as soon as Gambit implements it. It sits a layer above that, and uses a custom version of psyntax and R7RS to get the minimal support to be functional and usable now.
