Wastrel milestone: full hoot support, with generational gc as a treat https://wingolog.org/archives/2026/04/09/wastrel-milestone-full-hoot-support-with-generational-gc-as-a-treat
What's this? A Hoot REPL? A NATIVELY COMPILED EXECUTABLE @spritely Hoot REPL?
What? That can't be right, can it?
IT IS!
- Hoot: A Scheme -> WebAssembly toolkit and compiler, includes its own REPL
- Whippet: A new generational GC by @wingo
- Wastrel: A WASM->C compiler also by @wingo which can even compile WASM-GC by embedding WhippetWHICH MEANS!!! Hoot's REPL, compiled to WASM, can be compiled to C compiled to a native executable WITH GC included by Whippet
If you aren't like HOLY FUCKING SHIT then you are MISSING IT because OMFG
Also consider: Hoot is basically an implementation of Guile. WHICH ALSO MEANS we now have a path to build statically compiled versions of Hoot-compatible Guile programs!

Whoa what on earth is this Scheme evaluation visualization tool named EnvDraw made in Hoot? https://jmacd.github.io/envdraw/
And apparently EnvDraw has existed since 1995 and this is a port! Here's an old mailing list post https://groups.google.com/g/comp.lang.scheme/c/AU3HKB9plKk/m/TCkArQA51rcJ
Cool as hell

Interested in #declarative computing, #linux or #reproducible software? #Guix is going to be at #FOSDEM for lots of goodness on #guile #scheme and the #nix approach to packaging #FreeSoftware - check out the talks various people are giving:

Damn #spritely is gonna have such cool shit to show at FOSDEM and Guix Days this year. I mean all the stuff we did in-between, but also the stuff that's on the verge of releasin'
