I think that Sam's usual policy for that is to make things as close to
Racket as possible.  (And I think that it's a good policy in general.)


As for Scratchit (obviously the right spelling), it does sound like a
good idea, but the nice thing about the untyped -> TR route is that
you get to keep your code, whereas a Scratchit thing would be useless
if you can't use the libraries.
