Just a word of caution: scheme is a dynamic language, so programming
errors will only discovered at runtime, which requires a lot of
investment in testing. I think that the current setup where large
parts are in C++ is pretty good, since it gets us both type checking
and runtime speed.
(the thought of having to go in and change -let's say- the
partcombiner without breaking anything makes me shudder.)
