[plt-scheme] Porting DrScheme/MzScheme to Adobe Flex
I'm not talking about taking a Scheme program and compiling it down to
JavaScript or some other language. What I'm proposing is porting the
whole DrScheme IDE, including the MzScheme interpreter and VM, over to
ActionScript.
MzScheme is written in C, correct? Is there some feature of C that has
no implementable counterpart in ActionScript? (Besides pointer and
memory corruption. :)
