seriously considering making my own scheme on top of python

or more specifically, a scheme that compiles into python bytecode and supports a high level of interoperability with plain python packages

it could compile into python source, to start, i guess

i am just not happy enough with hy or hissp and have NIH syndrome

i have identified 1 problem which is you will not be capable of call/cc

you _will_ be capable of call/ec tho because that can be emulated with exceptions

Follow

@haskal nobody does, but i always thought that the method in the paper was a neat hack you could pull off on target languages that had exceptions and lexical scoping.
