I think the second sentence of the article covers that pretty simply? To run it in the browser with wasm?

Yes, but why? If the purpose is to run Scheme, run Scheme: why jump through Hoots oops I mean hoops.

> Yes, but why?

Most likely answer is "because that's what they wanted to do", which is a totally legit reason.

How do you run Scheme directly in the browser?

[NordStreamYacht]

Why would anyone want to run scheme in the browser? That's what I'm trying to understand.

If the goal is to run scheme, run scheme. If the goal is to port Hoop then I get it.

Why walk in water when you can take the ferry?

A couple of reasons that come to mind:

- For the same reasons people run js server-side: single codebase in the same language; familiarity with the language; other?

- Because some people simply like scheme and want to code the frontend of webapps in scheme

- Because they want to port Goblins to the browser and Goblins already work with scheme.
