When explaining this to Maureen, it sounded like the ultimate worm.
Can you migrate it from a browser to a gambit-c interpreter running on some server (not php on Apache)?
JS, PHP and Java all have overheads in respect of running Gambit code, and their sandboxing is also not optimal. For typical client device use this is fine.
For a server, could a "sandbox VM" be implemented in Scheme or C, i.e. what people use Lua for?:
I guess the point with it would be to be another "language backend", which is optimized for one single thing, which is to be giving as good performance as possible while being as simple as possible to implement.
Or does the GVM code already serve this purpose, and is waiting for someone to implement a simple "GVM interpreter sandbox" environment?
