No offense taken. I'm interested as this is a step closer to the "lisp machine"; if I can have my entire dev environment be scheme based, and be able to dynamically edit the code for my dev environment on the fly, I think magical things I can not yet imagine will happen.

hey,
so my current dev environment is xmonad + emacs + gambit; this is about
to
become xmonad + jedi + gambit; but I'd prefer to have my window manager
be
running on gambit too
so ... is there anyone else out there also interested in this? we can probably start out with something like scwm or sawmill and hack it to run
on
gambit ... or if you're really good with x11, we can even start with some thing leaner
let me know if there's interest
thanks!
(mainly interested in this as a hobby project)
No offense intended, but I think re-implementing window managers in Haskell/Scheme/<current language of choice> seems a bit Not-Invented-Here syndrome-ish. If it ain't broke, don't fix it - since there's lots of other interesting things to fix/create.
Not that there's anything wrong with making a window manager with Gambit, or anything.
