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.

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.
