Or isn't any of them better suited as a starting point? Please ask Tom, not me, because he is doing it, or visit his page for more information. His version could have advantages that others lack. Diversity is at most very rarely (never?) a drawback. Besides, I hear some people are implementing already available software just to see what it is like. There surely are thousands of other legitimate reasons why one would implement another version of Scheme. > Do you mean that you're all the more for Arch to win? No, I did not. Each of the nominated projects is very good (see Dave's post for some details about the GIMP). The Arch - GIMP relation was a joke, if you don't mind. The fact remains that Tom's Pika Scheme has Unicode support, which TinyScheme lacks, so it could be worth a look. Markus.
