S7 is a very small scheme interpreter and I wanted to see how difficult was to port TeXmacs to it and whether performance is acceptable. The good thing is that porting is not very difficult and now that I understand the process better, I think will be also possible to port TeXmacs to other scheme interpreters if needed. Unfortunately performance seems to be worser than Guile 1.8 so at the moment does not seems a viable option. I have a suspicion here---that having many different possible implementations of Scheme may be dangerous: packages written for one implementation may not work with another one, and this might hinder the development of user-contributed packages, and I think user contributions would help the development and diffusion of TeXmacs. But perhaps it is sufficient that there is one "official" TeXmacs version (with Guile :-) ) and then the presence of alternatives would not hinder developments on the official version. > I'm also maintaining a port to Guile 2/3 which seems to work fine. > I am eagerly waiting for it to become the main TeXmacs version. _______________________________________________ Texmacs-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/texmacs-dev
