From what I've learned about Scheme so far, it seems like a pretty good language for writing a compiler. The books that I've read on compiler-writing assume C or Pascal (or Java for ANTLR) --- but I haven't seen any using Scheme or Lisp. Of course, Scheme/Lisp have always been used for writing a DSL inside of a program (as Dmitry is doing in Racket, and has often been done in Forth), but what I'm referring to here is cross-compiling to a processor target --- not just putting a syntax-layer on top of an existing Scheme system.</div>
