Gentlemen,=0A=0AJust a hypothetical question:=0A=0AIf we/you/someone were t=
o begin working on a system for system/shell programming in scheme, where w=
ould you start?=0A=0AThere was some discussion a week or so ago about wheth=
er or not Scheme48 was the right choice. Unfortunately I've lost that email=
, and the scsh mailing list archives stopped working back in 2007, which is=
further evidence of the slow death this project has died.=0A=0ASo, if some=
one wanted to start development again, would it be best to:=0A=0A1. Pick up=
with scsh 0.6.7=0A=0A2. Start afresh?=0A=0A=0AIt is often the case that fi=
rst efforts are learning exercises, and it may be that we can learn from sc=
sh's initial effort.=0A=0AIf the consensus is 'start over again', where wou=
ld you start? MzSheme? Mit Scheme, something else?=0A=0ANote that I'm not p=
romising to do this. More than likely I'd just implement those functions I =
need to support the work I'm doing and it wouldn't be as generic as scsh is=
at the moment.=0A=0ACheers,=0A - SteveN=0A=0A=0A=0A
