I wasn't able to find anything about Google's Numerics flow. Would you provide a reference?

Yes. Rigetti Computing has also been working in this area. https://medium.com/rigetti/rigetti-partners-with-cdl-to-driv...

This is paper was published in Nature last month [0]. It mainly focuses on machine learning algorithms for near-term universal quantum computers (tens to hundreds of qubits). It also talks about machine learning algorithms for quantum annealers like D-Wave's.

It says on the revival project page [1] that the plan was to make T R5RS compatible. That is probably why they abandoned T to make Scheme 48 [2]

I am also interested in the revival of this language, but I don't see what the point of that would be. Does anyone here feel the same way?

Why do you think scheme-to-C compilation is the future of programming?

What direction would that be?

r/QuantumComputing[1] is a great place if you want to learn more. We read and discuss one Quantum Computing paper a week.
