Cool.

I'm already a big fan of the scheme-rs crate.

I use it any time I need a dynamic scripting language.

It allows for more flexible hot-reloading of parts of a program.

I don't personally have any Clojure interop holes that need filling.

But I can imagine a future where one moves partially away from the JVM if e.g. faster starts or leaner container images are desired.

I love scheme and rust but somehow did not know about scheme-rs! Looks like such a good project, thanks for the recommendation!
