Plus there is another angle on this. MesCC, the bootstrap C compiler in Scheme, is not a intended to be used beyond bootstrapping. A C compiler on top of Guile however, could be a very interesting project and could easily target gcc; possibly attempt C++. I may just be dreaming... >> Indeed, Guile needs a C compiler. > Technically, it could be built from a lisp compiler Hmm, it's my understanding that Guile is pretty heavily tied to libguile/*.c. What makes you think that it's possible for Guile to run without libguile/*.c? janneke -- Jan Nieuwenhuizen <jann...@gnu.org> | GNU LilyPond http://lilypond.org Freelance IT http://JoyofSource.com | Avatar® http://AvatarAcademy.com
