So I thought I would be great if there was a plugin to DrScheme adding the "Gambit" language level. I searched through web in order to find some pointers how to add custom language level or if people writing their own plugins for DrScheme. But I found not very much :-(
The point of DrScheme language levels is that the PLT group have implemented several different compilers that target the PLT run-time. IIRC, this also includes Java and JavaScript compilers. While I am unaware of any a priori reasons why a gambit-compatible set of libraries couldn't be implemented using the PLT run-time, I'd be very sceptical about the marginal utility of such a package. I mean, we already *have* Gambit, and for IDEs, well gambit-mode in emacs works very well, and ISTR the Gambit team itself developing its own IDE (someone correct me here).
