It occurs to me that you could get away with most of that just by getting to perl, since perl can already call Python, Java etc. through the Inline:: modules.

And, for bonus points, somebody's already bolted perl into mzscheme -

http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/Language-MzScheme-0.09/scri...

so all we actually need to do is to find a way to expose -that- into arc.

Very cool! I'll look into that. Ah, written by Audrey Tang, why am I not surprised :-)

I had been planning to call Perl in a subprocess, but this of course will be much more fun (if it works).

I'll be particularly wanting to know how it interacts with MzScheme threads...

If you do have a go, mail me at mst -> shadowcat.co.uk, I know a bit about the perl side of things and my first CPAN release was fixups to Guile.pm so I'd be interested to help you.

Hmm, Language::MzScheme isn't compiling against MzScheme v352. The documentation says it works with MzScheme v200 or greater, so I suspect it might not have made the transition to the v300 series.
