Agreed, ANY Scheme makes programming a lot more fun.
Maybe I don't understand your point here, but let me disagree completely. Kawa does not make programming in Java simpler, it makes programming on top of the JVM a LOT more fun
IMHO I know Scheme well. Most of my projects I did in in Scheme in lasts 6 years.(at least for those of us who happen to know Scheme well),
while interfacing with existing Java code easily.Not agreed.
And yes, you can write serious programs in Kawa Scheme, for real businesses.Agreed. Also, you can write serious programs in any other Scheme implementation. Most of Java applications are written in plain Java language nethertheless.
Scheme makes us much more productiveagreed
and, since it's compiled to JVM bytecode, performances are really good.performances are acceptable, if you need fast code, use Bigloo or Stalin. Instant cross-platform compatibility is the key.
