The compiler is self-hosting. We are working on plugging the generated code into other contexts such as mashups. While the compiler is available, we aren't interested in supporting it right now, as we're integrating it into a much larger framework. We are targeting a preliminary release of the whole framework by the end of this summer, if not sooner. I'm happy to try to answer questions. </blockquote><div> I have a Scheme to Javascript compiler implemented in Common Lisp. It implements most things in R5RS. Missing are the number tower and macros. Also, there is no proper module system. I want to port the compiler to PLT-Scheme. My idea is to somehow reuser the module and macro system of PLT. I'm just starting with PLT, so I need advice about the best way to do this. What I was thinking about was that I could write a module using #lang sines, for example. The forms in this module would be expanded to the core syntactic forms in PLT-Scheme (the ones in chapter two of the reference manual) by PLT-Scheme. Then the compiler takes these and generates Javascript (maybe using javascript.plt) and serve it with the web server or maybe put it in a file. Even better: a compiler already exists and I don't have to port mine. In IRC, Eli Barzilay pointed me to the mailing list telling me that a Scheme to Javascript compiler, implemented in PLT-Scheme, might already exists. I'm guessing he was referring to this message. Anyhow, is there something already usable? If not, I need advice, as a PLT-Scheme newbie, on the best way to reuse PLT-Scheme to implement (port) my compiler. Thank, Marco </div></div>
