So the next steps in the dependency graph are:

That has been my idea for a long time, yes...but it may not be feasible,
wise or most fun. It may not be feasible because Mes Scheme is just
tooo slow. We could look into fixing that, or try to avoid it by
It’s not clear yet. An alternative approach is to try to build Guile
first by using mes as the bootstrap Scheme interpreter.
...yeah bootstrapping into to Guile Scheme early! Something like
mes-boot -> mescc -> mini-guile -> mescc+/guilecc -> gcc@4.7
That's a very tempting idea that Ricardo came up with in Berlin and we
even hacked quite a bit on this. To be precise, we looked if Mes could
run ice-9/eval.scm.
One of the targets that had on my list for a long time is
libguile/eval.c. Now I'm starting to wonder, what would be the fastest
path to a minimal Guile, and what would we need for that? IIUC, Guile
does not run without at least some bits of libguile, such as
libguile/strings.c. Thoughts?
