Re: [Chicken-users] Environments as Modules

I was thinking about writing my own scheme interpreter for the heck of it. It might not make sense for some implementation strategies. What would be a good implementation strategy for this technique.

Hello,

this may look like a good idea but I suspect it isn't very suitable
for CHICKEN, because CHICKEN's evaluation environments contain no
syntax information but only runtime bindings while a module system
must deal with bindings in the transformer environment as well.

Ciao,
