There is nothing sad about MIT Scheme to me, it gives me great joy to use it every day. Thank you to everyone over the years who has donated their time in making such a great system. We used to have a '50s VW beetle when I was growing up, and I feel the same way about MIT Scheme as we did that car--a trusty part of the family we could always rely on.
In the spirit of trying to help, I spent three hours today working on this, a site to explore improving MIT Scheme:
free software "realpolitik" for modern times. Treat this as a "throwaway" prototype if you want, but even if you only laugh, maybe it could lead to something better.
