>From <http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/3582> I just learned about
the impending split of future Scheme into small and large variants.
Browsing that page and the links from here has been one of the more
uplifting and hopeful moments I've had contemplating the future of
dynamic languages. Especially by contrast to my despair over R6RS
bloat.

I wonder whether the future Small Scheme might even be an
object-capability language along the lines of Jonathan Rees' W7
<http://mumble.net/~jar/pubs/secureos/>? Btw, I also just heard about
WeScheme <http://www.wescheme.org/> which seems relevant.
