You should be able to get both OpenGL and DirectX via Microsoft's DotNet
from Scheme shortly - I understand that DotNet Scheme is currently under
development.

One obvious limitation is that DotNet will (for now? forever?) be Windows
only.

Given the reports coming in from people I know who have worked with DotNet
so
far (mostly Smalltalkers) DotNet seems a very effective system - a decent
Scheme compiler could be the best chance for using Scheme for a wide range
of commercial applications ever, although I suspect that my own company's
DotNet language will either be C# or Smalltalk.
