SCSH status and future

Hi,

Until a few months ago, I was a quite happy user of scsh. (I'm also
the main maintainer of the Debian package of scsh.) Any script I was
doing (that didn't have to be embedded in a Makefile) for my own use
was done in scsh. Both long term scripts (e.g. backup) or throw-away
(just typed on the command line, executed once and never saved). I was
dreaming of scsh every time I was forced to write a serious bash (or
even worse - POSIX /bin/sh) script.

But in a short time, this all changed. The machine I backup _to_ is
now an amd64 machine. I cannot use scsh for my backup scripts now. My
main desktop is also a amd64 machine. I cannot use scsh for my
throw-away execute-once scripts. And I don't know of a good
replacement. (I removed features from my backup script to shoehorn it
into guile + a compatibility layer.)

Unless scsh gets portability to 64 bits machines on the middle term, I
think it will slowly fade into oblivion. It would be a shame. Anybody
wants to make an scsh (_with_ the process notation) on top of another
scheme than the old scheme48 it is now based on?
