There's interest in it, and Dimos made interesting progress towards figuring out some of the key problems... there's been interest beyond that but sadly it seems like organizing the energy to work on it hasn't happened for whatever reason yet. I've offered to throw money at the problem if someone's willing to take it on btw... not much, but some money. I've talked to a couple of people about that but it stalled in each iteration.... I don't think it's impossible but I guess it's one of those tasks that for whatever reason seems difficult to get going on because there are some complexities around the way Racket builds "collections" that eg don't seem to show up in Python. Anyway that's not a judgement because despite wanting it fairly badly clearly I haven't made progress on it. I have the notes that Dimos wrote up not long ago in case anyone is interested. Dimos, do you mind if I post them to the list? - Chris
