[Long list of complaints about C deleted.]


Richard Kelsey wrote a dissertation about using a subset of Scheme as an
intermediate language for compilation. It seems like an elegant approach
to me (though to be perfectly honest I don't really have the background to
evaluate it properly). Is anyone familar enough with this work to offer a
more educated opinion on it?

P.S. Kelsey's dissertation can be obtained from the Yale CS department.
