Thanks! I have looked at it, but it looks abandoned and only available for
Linux 2.4.

It would be nice to be able to develop kernel code in Scheme which is
then translated to C. And which can be compiled and linked into the
kernel or compiled as a loadable module. This would be something which
is hard to do for other scripting languages.

So far I think the best option is to use KML (Kernel Mode Linux, a
kernel patch which allows user mode programs to be run in kernel space)
and Pre-Scheme. But please don't tell Felix about this.

BTW, how is the Askemos port to Chicken going?

Groetjes,
Peter.
