dotfiles VS cyclone

I think it's beneficial to write these files in the normal way and then just add them to the store with simple home-services through local-file (plain-file is ok too but messier in my opinion). Its easier to understand, removes a point of failure in the scheme configuration -> normal configuration step, portable, "immutable", and it allows you to collect them all into one nice dotfiles repo. Here's mine for an example: https://github.com/Tass0sm/dotfiles/tree/master/home/files

I use Guix Home for managing my dotfiles on Arch Linux. I think its pretty fun but its not totally perfect. This config also isn't totally reproducible. Here's the link for that repository: https://github.com/Tass0sm/dotfiles

Wow, thanks a lot! I hit a snag running cyclone's repl on a M1 Mac, but found the fix here: https://github.com/justinethier/cyclone/issues/464

When developing Cyclone Scheme I discovered the latest R7RS Scheme language specification requires that several procedures handle circular lists.

Cyclone Scheme transpiles to C and can run in the browser using WASM.

Over the years various solutions have been developed to meet this requirement such as trampolines, goto's, compiler optimizations, etc. One of the most unusual was proposed by Henry Baker in his paper CONS Should Not CONS Its Arguments, Part II: Cheney on the M.T.A. (PDF).

And its successor, Cyclone, began in 2014, and is actively developed.

Gambit, and consequently Gerbil, are not very mature and still need a bit more of a environment. Stklos could also be interesting, as well as Cyclone.
