I'm pretty sure development on this project has stopped. That said I would love to see a project of this kind come to maturity. A Haskell like language with a good macro system could solve a lot of problems that are poorly solved by something like template Haskell.

That's about what modern scheme should look like in 2020. Now let's turn this into r8rs and let the compilers take advantage of the extra information.

Nah man, that is what Haskell should have looked like so we could have escaped the horrors of template Haskell.

I would love an ML-ified scheme, but I am not sure Hackett captures what scheme is, at least not after playing with it for a couple of hours. It feels very much like haskell.

Apart from Racket is this applying to other Lisps?
