Re: speed difference between Guile and Racket (and Python)

Hi! I think the only way to use multiple cores in Racket is to use "places" and that means starting new Racket VMs. Lambdas are not easily serialized with all their environment, so it is difficult to actually "send a lambda" to another "place" (Racket VM) dynamically. The only way I found wa

Heap profiler

Hello Guilers, While desperately chasing and related memory leak issues, I came up with the attached rudimentary heap profiler. You can load it and invoking it in a running process: --8<---cut here---start->8--- scheme@(guil
