I think to get a remote REPL is not difficult, but I have serious doubts about getting better tracebacks, since I have never seen a Scheme implementation with good error reporting :-( Guido van Rossum says that he will never make Python tail recursive since it does not want to lose nice tracebacks. I don't know if it is technically possible to get both tail recursion and nice tracebacks, and how difficult it is. > Heck -- if we can throw in a consistent DB API, a MySQL egg, a few > handy webapp framework components, and a good tutorial, then you've > got a serious contender in the silent masses' quest for the ideal LAMP > (LAMS?) framework.
