About the API. You'd like to go opengl-style, right (stateful or
stateless ?) ? What about a xhtml/css/javascript style ? I mean, of
course, everything in Scheme but with content/presentation/logic
separated... Otherwise, it would be the classical event-based (with
callbacks) mechanism ? I wonder what other means could be used.

Maybe some kind of message passing instead of function calling ? (any
idea of gui toolkit for erlang ?) Or some kind of spreadcheet-like (I
think to phooey in haskell or cello in common lisp).

Sorry, I understand the goal is to be practical and cheap for the time
and effort of the community :)

Cheers,
