[Chicken-users] Microcontroller schemes

[Norman Gray]

Greetings.

This is a slightly tangential request.

I have a microcontroller project upcoming which would potentially 
benefit from a bit of DSL magic which, of course, I'd like to do in a 
scheme.

Chicken, because it compiles to C, would probably be my best bet in 
terms of 'big' schemes, but I imagine that getting it to work on a 
microcontroller would be infeasible (that's right, isn't it?).

Given this community's probable range of interests, however, can anyone 
point me in a useful direction?  I'd be most interested in systems which 
could run on one of the bigger Arduinos, but I think I could shift 
microcontrollers if the language were right.

I've so far found a few interesting resources, but some of them tend to 
have a summer-project look.

  * There's a nice list of small lisps/schemes at [1], which has a 
couple of promising pointers, but it's a rather old page.
  * It mentions TinyScheme[2], which looks quite close, but seems not 
to have had much activity recently.
  * Armpit Scheme[3] seems to be targeting just the thing, but also has 
a left-behind look.
  * There's a rather interesting list of MCU languages at [4], but, 
again, this is quite an old page, and some of those descriptions look 
very much like summer projects.

So, has anyone on this list explored into that area of the computing 
forest?

Best wishes,

Norman
