One of the first areas of concentration (perhaps because it is the
easiest) is to have the javascript generated for the client from the
primary application programming language. In this case it is scheme.

I was about to reply to this when I saw your more recent message
concerning "Try Scheme". The better approach, IMHO, would seem to be to
use a scheme interpreter written in JavaScript. Then you can keep both
the client and server code in the same language. Easier to debug
(assuming the interpreter itself has been debugged) since you can test
the client code locally in a separate interpreter without needing the
browser.
Of course, I'm sure this type of thing will cause no end of heartburn
for those in the "no JavaScript at all" camp.
Taking a closer look at that link, I kind of like that approach as well. At
least, it's interesting. Just the extra step though of having to remember
to compile your scheme.
