(Em, been sending these to the wrong list all day. Here they are...)


Other thoughts for the summer of code...

 * I don't know if such a thing exists already: use SWIG to generate
 the FFI for C libraries.

 * Languages running on Gambit: e.g. implement Ruby or Javascript
 compiling to Gambit, at least simple demonstrations of those languages
 for the summer. A neat demo would be subsets of Ruby, Javascript, and
 Scheme compiling into their own shared-nothing processes (much like
 Termite), and allowing them to pass constant Scheme data or maybe JSON
 structures back and forth to each other.

 (And then use that XMPP client I suggested earlier to pass these
 things to other Gambit processes on other machines.)
