Re: Specialized input parsing for code/REPL in DrScheme?

[Matthias Felleisen <matthias@cs.rice.edu>]

Embedding languages: 

1. Scheme is expressive enough [in my sense, not Turing's] to cope with
   (the core of) all the languages you mention in a non-interpretive
   manner. Specifically, we could write direct mappings from Python
   constructs to Scheme constructs w/o global compiler technology. 

   Especially when Shriram finishes unit/lang, we will be able to do
   exactly as you wish. 

2. We have considered this issue and believe it to be a research issue with
   funding promise. If you truly care, we should consider collaborating. We
   need someone who prefers non-parenthetical languages; haven't found
   anyone with enough experience on both sides of the divide :-)
