Congratulations! So what's the roadmap for 1.12?
No definite roadmap - it depends on my whim, energy,
requests, and contributions from volunteers.
However, the following are some of the projects that
are non-trivial and seem valuable to me:
* A framework for sequencing and looping. I have
some rather out-there ideas I'll post something about soon,
but I don't have it all figured out yet.
* Java annotations.
* Progress on the "q2" language that I've been thinking
about for a while. For about that later.
* Full call/cc is not out of the question.
* Better flow analysis and type inference (based on SSA
or something equivalent like CPS or ANF-conversion).
* Using a web browser as a REPL and GUI, including "printing"
HTML objects, SVG images, canvas drawing. In addition to
enabling a nice REPL, a goal is to allow exploring HTML,
CVS, SVG, etc using a REPL interface.
* Various smaller things, depending on requests and whim:
R6RS functionality, GUI programming, web-server hooks, ...
Not all of these will make it, but at least the first three
seem very likely.
