I am usually quite far away from the metal and how things work on the bits 
level, however, if there was a Guile dialect, or Scheme dialect, which has 
similar feel, or maybe can even use Guile libraries, I would find that 
interesting. There is probably a lot to learn for me in that area.

I began implementing a bitboard, dreaming about writing a whole chess engine 
once and the clever tricks one can use on the bits level were interesting. Maybe 
such a thing could also be done in a better way using a Scheme close to the metal.
