#2I just looked at the repo, haven't tried this yet. Could be very useful to me if tensorflow, pytorch etc. are callable

#3I'm pretty neutral to Scheme and the other Lisps, but at the very least this seems like a cool project.

BTW, guenchi thanks for writing this code! Much appreciated.

#6Racket has this for C-based APIs. My mind is kind of wondering how this would ever be stable/maintainable to use for Python, but Lua seems possible but I would rather do my scripting in Racket then Lua and use the C APIs directly.

Looking at Julia (Which has a no "boiler plate" philosophy when using C or Fortan) the function is just called.
Interesting to look at for comparison

#7How does Chez Scheme compare vs. CHICKEN Scheme? For a layman, they both seem to compile to binary; Chicken via C, Chez maybe not? Which one has a bigget community?
Also, do you know of any static typing extension for Chez?

If that’s your use case you might want to check out https://fennel-lang.org

I have been working hard to promote the construction of the （Chez）Scheme community for a year. Being useful to you is the best gift for me.
By the way, we have a scheme binding of tensorflow. That calling direct by tensorflow's C API.
FLI is in order to solve the problem of calling Numpy by Scheme which is lack of C - api.

Chez is compile direct to Native Code
Chicken has much more library and bigger community.
BUT...
Chez is the only commercial compiler (before open source) and very stable and fast...
