An FFI between Gambit Scheme and CPython
summary
An FFI implements a bidirectional bridge between Gambit Scheme and CPython that actually converts values, wraps CPython objects via Gambit’s CFFI, and handles reference counting and movable GC interactions; it exposes 400,000 PyPI packages to Scheme, provides an infix parser so Python syntax embeds in Scheme, and builds a working foreign procedure calls (FPC) system that pairs Gambit and Python threads to run Flask HTTP handlers concurrently.
