I would be very surprised if no one had written a Scheme interpreter in Haskell. It is an obvious project for an undergrad like myself. Good practice playing with monads and such. I'm planning to try it at some point.

Jolly good. Please license it to me under GPL when you're R5RS-compliant.

Query: Aside from learning about Scheme and about writing interpreters, what purpose would this serve? The natural language for writing Scheme interpreters is Scheme, and the language that would probably be desired for efficiency is C.

I want to use Scheme as a general "user scripting language" for such things as transforming XML documents, etc., as part of my project ("Truth") to provide a user interface to all information [insert maniacal Bond villain laugh here]. A bit like Guile, I suppose. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA
