the technical director of the famous azienda at Milan 
writing financial software based on opensource components
where I once applied unsuccessfully? So scheme is seen now
suited for that sort of tasks and may compete with python?

wopuld it be hard to provide a generalised sql interface on the lines
of Perl's DBI/DBD architecture?
and is the existing interface pure scheme or based on libmysql?
perl offers for some sql engines both pure perl and lib*sql-based
drivers, the former allowing to write client codes running on engines 
where the libraries aren't even available, the latter provide more speed.


are there also gdbm interfaces available for chicken?
