[chicago-lisp] Re: SISC was: Hello

[Peter Hua]

Absolutely.  I would like to be able integrate a Lisp/Scheme with Java to
leverage its powerfule abstractions.  Kawa isn't a complete Scheme
implementation as its support for tail recursion and continuations is
minimal.  I will definitely have to look more at SISC (and its implmentation
:).

Mike also pointed me out to the Schemeway project which is kick-ass Eclipse
plug-in for Scheme that is somewhat similar to Emacs/Slime for Lisp.

Cheers,
Peter
