Hi, Keep in mind that this work is like a sort of ctrl-c/ctrl-v ,copy/paste of existing code modified by transformers. There is no new idea, no creativity happening. There is already a lot of scheme implementations and the IA models have been trained over those human implemented codes.
So as there exists already solutions human written (guile,racket,chicken...) i suppose you do not even need to write a lot of specifications to do that. At contrary if you want to improve things, improve scheme, for example by adding some infix notation support you have to tell it to the AI,becaus AI (at the moment i'm writing) is not capable of creativity ,of inventing new languages,etc For me,creating Scheme+, this is not a problem, i'm not in competition with an IA (even if i use it).
