The docs currently state:
> The easiest (and most fun) way to depend on a virtual machine is to
implement the virtual machine within Guile itself. This way the
virtual machine provides what Scheme needs (tail calls, multiple
values, call/cc
) and can provide optimized inline instructions
for Guile (cons
, struct-ref
, etc.).
This is a little confusing for new readers (like myself), who may consider Guile to by synonymous with Scheme.
This led to interpret this as 'the VM is implemented in Scheme', which has a bootstrapping problem (what actually interprets your bytecode?).
