How do you handle Gerbil's incomplete docs? I'll admit, when I was looking at them I had no clue how Schemes worked, but I found the lack of documentation to be a very difficult barrier.

i would wager that anyone ballsy enough to use gerbil in production is at a minimum very active on gitter and probably a contributor to the language
Remember Gerbil is a layer on top of Gambit, which has been 30 years in the making.
Gitter has been a great resource. Vyzo is very helpful in answering questions. The docs could use some work. But the code is fairly trivial to follow on most things.
