There are several Schemes that compile to C, but most people want all the bells and whistles. If you don't need full featured Scheme, but are interested mainly in efficient object code, you might look at PreScheme. PreScheme is statically typed, compiles to C, has very minimal runtime and no GC (you can deallocate memory manually if desired). It's included in the Scheme48 distribution (http://s48.org/). There is approximately zero documentation: PreScheme was designed for bare metal programming and as a bootstrap compiler for Scheme48, but Rick Kelsey's paper on it is here: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.3.4031 George -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
