]). You will need to decide what Scheme/Lisp functions/macros to include/exclude. It may seem obvious to exclude file operations, but they did that with JS and now we have IndexedDB; a restricted, virtual file system might be fun to play with. Multithreading might seem like a great thing to include, until you start trying to implement secure multithreading. I would start with whatever cl-isolated [3] allows and expand/contract from there. And before anyone asks, "would this actually be worth implementing in 2025?", the answer is decidely "yes". You could build powerful desktop applications without the full weight of Electron. You could develop local-network webapps for you and/or your company. But I think it would be a bad idea to deploy this on the open internet without first spending a lot of time securing the browser overall. Another option is resurrecting Closure [4], which is written entirely in Common Lisp. In that, you could go on a wild tangent and support multiple scripting languages (e.g. Common Lisp via cl-isolated, cl-forth [5], cl-javascript [6], cl-python [7], scheme88 [8], and even Coalton [9]).

Or maybe port cl-isolated to Chez Scheme.

back, but Lisp will save you ;). A Forth Dictionary is very similar to a Lisp Environment; they both serve as a lookup table for definitions, and they both allow the programmer (or program!) to redefine words/symbols. They also both have REPLs to facilitate a much more dynamic development cycle than other REPLs in most languages. I could go on, but on a fundamental level the similarities are striking (at least to me, anyway). It’s an interesting rabbit hole to explore, with lots of “drink me” bottles laying around. It’s fun here. [0] https://git.sr.ht/~vdupras/duskos/tree/master/item/fs/doc/co... [1] https://github.com/gmpalter/cl-forth
