Scheme in the real world

Out of curiosity, why would you want to use a garbage collected language at all if you have real time requirements.

I don't want to do memory management. It's the sort of error-prone process I feel is generally better left to a machine. I think the timing uncertainties inherent in GC can be mitigated to the point that they don't affect performance.

You are right. RScheme has a real time garbage collector
