I accidentally a scheme
Summary: In a blog post, the author discusses accidentally creating a new Scheme implementation called Whiffle while working on a new garbage collector (GC) for Guile called Whippet. The author highlights the complexity of GC implementations and language implementations, and the need to start small and test GC algorithms with workloads. Whiffle was created as a fun way to generate C code from Scheme, and the author plans to share more details about it in a future post.
