I am usually quite far away from the metal and how things work on the bits level, however, if there was a Guile dialect, or Scheme dialect, which has similar feel, or maybe can even use Guile libraries, I would find that interesting. There is probably a lot to learn for me in that area. I

The name is gold (well, actually Steel, but...) I love the idea as I'd love to be able to do systems programming in Scheme. I've actually been playing with Loko scheme lately which is really cool and designed for bare metal. There are some really cool things going on there, such as Valand, an
