If synergy with other developers and multi-language compatibility is what you're after, then the logical choice would be Microsoft .NET CLR. :) *ducks, runs, and hides* Seriously, I think a Parrot VM target would be a good idea, but I'd like to keep the option of native compilation open. Then it would be possible to write Scheme programs that run fast, and don't have the overhead of a JIT. -- Jeffrey T.
