On a related note: since I consider writing my next Android App in Clojure, how feasible is it to port from Clojure to another LISP/Scheme? I think Gambit Scheme can be used to write iPhone apps.

You would want to just rewrite it at that point.

Interesting. I wonder how this compares to writing such applications in Arc (also on plt scheme). Looks like the main difference would be all the side effects for phone hardware given here, plus DOM-oriented HTML/JS.

Something completely different. Tables VS DOM and JS events.

You're right, that was dumb.

Hi, I'm one of the primary developers of Moby-Scheme. If you have any questions, please let me know!

Is there a way to escape into html / javascript in moby?

We're going to revamp the HTML support so that users can write the heart of the DOM in a separate HTML file.

As for access to Javascript, not yet. Although there is an undocumented hook to get at Javascript objects and attributes, it isn't ready for consumption.

Are there any opengl bindings for Android in Moby-Scheme?

For the moment, we're focusing on providing support for 2d world-style programming. We haven't looked into OpenGL bindings.

hi i encoutered a problem while installing moby and running moby from command line. this is what i did........first i installed plt-scheme>=4.2 and then downloaded moby source.created a directory called work and placed the moby source there.then add a PLaneT local link to the moby directory by $ planet link dyoo moby.plt 2 > moby where i replaced some-high-number by 5

after this i navigated to moby directory and $ cd moby/examples

$ mred ../src/moby.ss falling-ball.ss

to which i got the following output

/home/deepak/work/moby/src/moby.ss:77:44: compile: unbound identifier in module in: Loc->string

=== context === standard-module-name-resolver
