Looks very nice. I look forward to experimenting with it.

I used to use Gambit-C for command line utilities and misc. applications.

Mark,

I believe you reviewed mocl. It would be interesting to see your comparison of the two.

I am sorry I did not see your question earlier.

mocl is very interesting, but I only played with it. I think mocl's value lies in using Common Lisp code for the logic of an app, but still have some iOS or Android specific UI glue.

I would love to spend time experimenting more with mocl and Gambit-C for building apps, but, my real business is in text analytics and AI.

Just a few words to tell my experience with the tool:

./configure make

ERROR: required tool wget not found. brew install wget

ERROR: required tool gs not found. brew install gs

ERROR: required tool convert not found. brew install ImageMagick

ERROR: required tool xelatex not found.

LATEX???? -> GOODBYE

In case you want to change your mind XeTeX is now optional. Please note that there were good reasons to require it, as we do projects in languages having right-to-left script, or use higher Unicode characters (such as Kannada).
