I would actually think that a good first step would be to port the Racket VM, so that business logic can be run in Racket. GUI would be hard of course, but I think that for the moment being able to run a background process written in Racket would be "enough" for me, communicating with an Android GUI through TCP or something.
Somebody has to fix the overuse of C in the system, although I hear it's being done. Hashtables in C are pretty ridiculous, especially since pure Racket libraries like https://github.com/97jaz/hamt are just as fast :/ On Mon, Feb 23, 2015 at 11:57 PM, Byron Davies <byrondav...@starshine.us> wrote: > I'm very glad to see a resurrection of the possibility of Racket running > on Android.
