There is Gambit scheme, MIT scheme, PLT scheme, chicken scheme, bigloo, larceny, ...; then there are all the lisps.

Yet, there's not (to my knowledge) a single popular scheme/lisp on LLVM, even though LLVM provides lots of nice things like:

  • easier to generate code than x85
  • easy to make C ffi calls ...

So why is it that there isn't a good scheme/lisp on LLVM?
