Xorn gives those a place for those who won=92t use Scheme to = contribute. There is no longer any reason to complain that we=92re = forcing Scheme on people. 2. Xorn is free of the requirement for backward compatibility. >=20 > My intention is to develop current C/Scheme codebase.

Unsupported and unused bitrot needs removing, regardless of language, = but Roland is supporting Xorn. There=92s constant conflict here between = =93we need more development=94 and =93this is production software, don=92t= break it=94. Xorn is potentially a way to relieve that conflict. However, I have to ask if Xorn has a user base? Is anyone doing projects = with it? Is anyone scripting it? Roland has tried to recruit me, but I=92m= heavily invested in gnetlist and Scheme, and they are getting the jobs = done. I=92m not a natural user until Xorn goes someplace useful to me = that gnetlist can=92t. So far, though, it=92s just an unfamiliar way to = do the things that gnetlist does. That=92s not enough.
