Not this, but I wanted to make a Scheme VM and expose it directly, forth-like. A nice benefit would be a memory safe forth with advanced data types and GC.

EDIT: to clarify, the point of this of course is to write only the minimal, performance critical piece (the VM) in native code and build a complete Scheme environment on top of this. There has been many similar efforts (Scheme48, VSCM, etc), but AFAIK none of them exposed the VM directly.
