Ok mate, I'll try to hack a working PLT scheme version, perhaps I'll shout
for a hand on the PLT forums too.
Thanks for the help, I'll spread the sweet expressions around too, I think
it's a super cool think for people who, like me, come from a ruby world (the
code is soooo gentler if presented this way it's not even funny to compare
it).
I hope your project grows, LISP/scheme seems like they could use the
popularity boost.
Hugs
