What's the current state of Clojure Scheme? Has it been retired? What was the state of its functionality?

jfacorro commented 9 years ago

I would be interested in knowing about the current status of this project as well.

@MatthewWest for your question of functionality: I contributed very small pieces to Clojure-scheme and the latest revision works quite well. As a fork from Clojurescript (years ago), implemented features includes core library, self hosted compiler, REPL and interop to Gambit Scheme (maybe I forget some things here) Despite of its success, development has suspended for quite a long time. Clojure and Clojurescript has a good few new features, notably transducers and reader conditionals. Imo with the newly added reader conditionals, Clojure Scheme can be part of Clojurescript without the need of forking. By the time Clojurescript's self-hosted compiler is finished, porting to Gambit should be much easier, given the hard work @takeoutweight has already done.
