Hence the overly ambitious goal of mes-m2 (Which might end up being a dead end) and a proper scheme written in the Haskell Subset supported by blynn-compiler which has been bootstrapped. We have to think long term here, because we are going to have to support the bootstrap forever. And porting to new architectures and Operating Systems is going to be something we will have to deal with. - Jeremiah
