Not sure if this is the proper thread for you to address this, but I'm curious as to whether you think there would be in value to something like Arc -> C/Java/? for libraries/frameworks/speed

(which would (theoretically) be just a kludge/hack on Bigloo http://www-sop.inria.fr/mimosa/fp/Bigloo/)

RTFAQ: http://paulgraham.com/arcfaq.html

Arc is intended to not be attached to any other language or VM. That's not to say you couldn't implement your own Arc runtime on top of a language of your choice. In fact, since there are already Schemes that run on top of both C and Java, you could do so simply by porting the Scheme parts to an appropriate Scheme. It's under 1000 lines of Scheme.

Thanks for the heads up (didn't know about the FAQ). The porting of the relevant Scheme option seems interesting; I'll have to check it out
