Directly compiling Scheme to WebAssembly: lambdas, recursion, iteration! -- Spritely Institute

Not exactly a new one but I think this sub deserves some activity.

People at Spritely Institute are working on compiling Guile to WebAssembly, and they have made some progress now.

comparison with LLVM-backed scheme implementations?

A scheme that runs on wasm opens up so much possibilities and maybe I will finally be able to use Scheme to replace JS in my frontend code.
And it seems that they are aiming to generate efficient code. A perfomant Scheme implementation is always welcomed.
