[Scheme-reports] Feedback from implementors? Denis Washington 02 Aug 2011 17:20 UTC

Hi,

While reviewing the current draft, I started to wonder: now that many
things have been already voted on and the changes introduced in the
coming draft(s) won't be that big anymore (I guess?), it would be time
to slowly find out how the resonance of the implementations' authors is
with regard to supporting the standard, especially the module/library
system. However, it doesn't seem as if there were any feedback from
implementors yet.

How about approaching the implementors directly and ask them if they
would implement the standard in its current state, or what they think
would have to change for them to add support for it? It would be sad if
we had R6RS all over again. (For instance, in my journey to write a
portable C FFI layer, I am right now really suffering from the Scheme
community not having a portable module mechanism that works across the
major Scheme systems...)

Regards,
Denis
