Just to clarify, I'm appreciative of the work you and Jesse are doing here, and I'm not suggesting you make things harder on yourself. I'm not familiar enough with the internals to know which way would be more effort in the long run. There is the effort of the initial port, but then I presume future updates to Chez Scheme will continue to be merged into the Racket fork periodically. It *seems* like the more Racket Chez diverges from Chez, the harder it will be to merge future updates to Chez, but I could be way off base here. The other factor is the possibility of the Chez folks becoming interested in helping out, and having a unified effort to do the port. > > On Monday, 22 June 2020 at 23:57:20 UTC+2 lojic...@gmail.com wrote: > >> On Friday, May 1, 2020 at 5:18:16 AM UTC-4, Jesse Alama wrote: >> >>> Paulo Matos and I have recently started porting Chez Scheme >>> to the ARM and RISC-V ISAs.
