The following immediately made me think of guile.
http://netbsd-soc.sourceforge.net/projects/luakern/
I wonder if there is anything like this in the works on the GNU front
with the HURD as guile's natural kernel partner. Sorry I have nothing
useful to contribute, I just thought it worthwhile to raise the prospect
(specter?) of such integration in case it hadn't already crossed the
minds of those with the ability to one day actually implement it.
Cheers,

I saw this done with Guile for Linux circa 1999. I think that it would work out better today with Cinquecento (www.cqctworld.org) as the Scheme. Cinquecento is a C-syntax Scheme dialect built for systems and debugger programming.
Cheers,
Dan

As you probably know, the Hurd is just a set of user-space server
implementing standard OS functionality. These servers talk to each
other using remote procedure calls (RPCs). Thus, servers can be
implemented in any language, and Guile should obviously be the natural
partner. ;-)
A nice project, especially now that Guile supports hygienic macros,
would be to write an RPC stub generator for GNU Mach (the Hurd’s
underlying micro-kernel.) There are already Common Lisp [0] and Java [1]
bindings to some of the Hurd’s RPCs.
Thanks,
Ludo’.

It's long since dead, and Linux rather than Hurd, but
http://abstractnonsense.com/schemix/ is somewhat relevant.
