Plus there is another angle on this. MesCC, the bootstrap C compiler in
Scheme, is not a intended to be used beyond bootstrapping.
And probably will lose features over time not directly related to the act of
bootstrapping itself
A C compiler on top of Guile however, could be a very interesting project and
could easily target gcc; possibly attempt C++.
Well mescc is well on its way to that
I may just be dreaming...
I hope not
Hmm, it's my understanding that Guile is pretty heavily tied to libguile/*.c.
What makes you think that it's possible for Guile to run
without libguile/*.c?

Specifically "The bootstrap C interpreter in libguile loads the Scheme compiler
and builds eval.go from eval.scm"
Thus by simply having a scheme compiler able to compile eval.scm, we can skip
the libguile/*.c Assuming I interpreted that situation correctly
