Scheme, the next step for Mes is mescc: a C compiler/linker to
boostrap into GNU Gcc and GNU Guile, possibly via Tiny-CC.
It currently has an interpreter written in C (mes) with Garbage
Collector (Jam Scraper), a library of loadable Scheme modules with
test suite just barely enough to support a simple REPL (repl.mes) and
a proof-of-concept c-compiler (mescc.mes) that produces an elf from
the simplest of C files.
Mes is inspired by The Maxwell Equations of Software: [[http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/LISP/book/LISP%25201.5%2520Programmers%2520Manual.pdf][LISP-1.5]] -- John
McCarthy page 13.
