    I love this, I had this idea back in 2020, a lisp that compiles to WASM, and then can compile itself to WASM at run-time in the browser, or any WASM run-time, dogfeed itself. I'm not a compiler guru by any means, so its just one of many things on my bucket list.

    This is amazing. I am not finding the link to open a Scheme REPL in the browser (without doing my developer job). Am I missing something?

    I only looked at WASM when the spec was first released but at that time it looked like tail call was not possible. Has that been corrected?

    This is exciting stuff! It feels like Hoot is moving forward at lightning speed these days. Love seeing all these cool demos.

    I don't have favorites, but Spritely is definitely an equal favorite for the projects we support at the Filecoin Foundation for the Decentralized Web. Others HNers may also be interested in include:
