I email to ask you for further information about a task in the section "GNU Help Wanted"
in savannah, named "Implement automake in Scheme" , there is a brief description
I didn't know there was such a thing as the `GNU Help Wanted' list, but I've long thought such a project would be an excellent idea. It's a pretty natural language for such a task, and quite a few of the important bits of automake.in are, it seems to me, written in a pretty functional style anyway. And scsh is POSIX, portable, and pretty lightweight.
Not that I'm volunteering, mind....

It is not a universally held opinion that Perl and Tcl are good implementation languages for medium- to large-sized projects.
All the best,
