<AwesomeAdam54321>Is anyone interested in bootstrapping MIT Scheme?

<fossy>AwesomeAdam54321: hi! what needs bootstrapping there? just had a quick look at it doesn't even appear to need any lisp dialect, let alone itself, to build? unless i am mistaken

<AwesomeAdam54321>fossy: MIT Scheme relies on its own implementation-specific quirks to build, so I'm currently stuck

<AwesomeAdam54321>The ones I've found so far is that MIT Scheme uses #! for keywords, and makes use of syntactic closures

<AwesomeAdam54321>/closures/closure macros

<fossy>oh wait yeah i didn't read the install manual properly :D

<fossy>I'm no scheme expert so I can't really help you there, but hopefully someone comes to the help!

<AwesomeAdam54321>Thanks! I guess I'll try and work things out for now

<oriansj>AwesomeAdam54321: well we are always interested in bootstrapping languages. (not everyone is able to work on every project but people who are capable and interested usually will help out)

<oriansj>We do have a bootstrapped guile, which might be helpful for bootstrapping other schemes
