Thanks for advices, I've read some papers on this topic and will take a deep searching into different scheme/lisp groups in following days. For now I decide to refactor carc to an byte-code one and use the new gc mechanism from the scratch :P

If you'd like, something that would be helpful to us for you to keep an eye out for while you're looking is that we'd like to find a runtime (or learn how make a runtime) which:

- runs on multiple cores, AND

- supports full call-with-current-continuation, tail call optimization, and mutable lists

Our current options include:

- Racket, which can run on multiple cores, but only supports mutating lists within a single core, and

- the JVM, which does support mutating data structures by multiple cores, but doesn't natively support full continuations or tail call optimization.
