About the service
I design and develop real software in Gerbil Scheme — a modern Scheme dialect that compiles to native code and C via Gambit. If you need the expressiveness of Lisp combined with the speed of a compiled environment, this service is for you. I build network daemons, concurrent services, domain-specific languages, compilers and interpreters, code generators and clean command-line tools. My work relies on Gerbil's actor model for fault-tolerant concurrency, an object system for pure abstractions, and a rich standard library for practical tasks: HTTP, TLS, JSON, databases, process management. What you get: working documented code organized into proper Gerbil packages; builds through the gxpkg package manager with reproducible compilation into standalone executables; a test suite using the standard std test framework; a brief guide so your team can develop the system further. The process is transparent. First we clarify the requirements and agree on interfaces and milestones. Then I assemble the system in small verifiable steps, delivering compiled binaries at each stage that you can run. I profile hot spots, tune the Gambit backend where it matters, keep macros hygienic and readable rather than overcomplicated. I write structured code with clear module boundaries, meaningful error handling through actors and exceptions, and comments where the intent is unclear. Whether it's a language prototype, replacing a slow scripting layer, a lightweight high-load server, or an embedded Scheme engine inside a larger application — you'll get code that is fast, correct and easy to maintain. I also help teams already using Gerbil: code review, refactoring to idiomatic style, organizing packages, migrating from other Scheme or Common Lisp. Write me your requirements — I'll propose a concrete plan, timeline and price.
