Huh!

We used it in our SICP course at university (We were suggested to use PLT/DrScheme or Chez/EMACS -- I used Guile because it interacted better with Makefiles), so I have always assumed that it was free software. I don't know if they licensed it or we used Petite Chez.

Wow, there is no information to be found about this anywhere except that github repo. Where did you hear about it?

Saw that it made it to HN. I love how David Thompson is all over it, setting people straight:

"[Schemes don't have X]"
"[Guile has X]"

"[Schemes aren't practical]"
"[How's a system init and a package manager for practical?]"

"[Schemes can't ...]"
"[Dude. Guile.]"

:-D
