MzScheme is an implementation of the Scheme programming language
for Windows 95/98/NT, MacOS, Unix, and BeOS.
...
MzScheme is [also] available in kernel form for x86 machines,
which allows MzScheme to boot without the aid of a separate
operating system. The MzScheme kernel is based on the [Flux] OSKit.

We're playing around with MzScheme at the moment. It seems to be an
exceptionally well put together package. In particular the GUI library is
worth singling out (it's based on Wx) , the libraries include some very nice
extensions (hash tables, regexp, pattern matching, structures, classes,
poackages) and the documentation standard is unbelievably good. It's also
worth mentioning that there's a COM tool available called "MysterX". We've
not used the system for anything beyond sub-1000 line tools yet, but so far
it looks very good indeed.

I know of the mzscheme osflux-port but I wanted to know if someone works
on a
"CommonLisp" port to Flux.
But you are right the features of mzscheme are really interesting. It
would be
a good thing if we could look a bit further at this beast to port some
things
to e.g cmucl.
BTW: Wx is the cross-gui development kit wxWindows?

Sounds like a good idea. As a Windows developer I don't know much about
CMUCL.

Yes. So far it's lived to its reputation - fast, safe, nice features, good
docs - much better than Allegro provide with their GUI, for instance.
