Bare > bones, they are small enough, but useful configurations grow quickly. Hmm, I had been wondering about the memory footprint of Guile. I know that it has some front ends for other language syntaxes, particularly Ecmascript a/k/a Javascript, with Lua supposedly in development. I spent yesterday evening looking into very small ram-stingy Scheme implementations and I wonder whether the Guile Ecmascript front end could be used with them. But, it probably increases the product's support burden. Picobit looks interesting: https://github.com/stamourv/picobit Absolutely unsuitable for non-nerd user scripting, but maybe of interest to language geeks: Purescript (purescript.org) is a Haskell dialect that compiles to Javascript, and could be probably made to generate Scheme instead. I think someone is already working on retargeting it to Lua. But I think the pure functional approach (no mutable data, lots of GC) isn't a good fit for small embedded systems.
