What about totally different approach to Rust and Racket interaction: Racket is trying to move to Chez Scheme. https://blog.racket-lang.org/2018/01/racket-on-chez-status.html The C part of Chez Scheme is about 16k lines. Translating (at least) some of that to Rust might be an interesing project. No guarantee that anyone will join, much less that it is a good idea. Kind regards: al_shopov
