[Cuis] Driverless alternatives

[Ken Dickey]

No good graphics system, but the Scheme language is _much_ better & safer than C++ !

Scheme48 has been used to program mobile robots.  A formal proof system verified the implementation http://mumble.net/~jar/pubs/lsc.pdf  Scheme48 uses a bytecode interpreter but has a PreScheme compiler which converts a pure Scheme subset to C.  This was the work that inspired Slang (IMHO).

Gambit Scheme compiles to native code and is roughtly compatable with C in speed.  had been used to program modest hardware and they did a real-time GC implementation.

Among other things, Scheme is a great system in which to write very efficient state machines.
