Show HN: Try Gerbil Scheme in the Browser (opens in new tab)

Gerbil is a Scheme built on Gambit that compiles to native code via C. It has an actor-oriented concurrency model, a rich module system, and a batteries- included stdlib. I built a browser playground to make it easy to try without installing anything.

Briefly: - A real REPL with state that persists between expressions - 10 guided examples from basic Scheme through pattern matching, hash tables, higher-order functions, and actors (but, do go to https://cons.io for the full docs) - A scratchpad for multi-line code that evaluates into the live REPL session - Snippet sharing via short URLs

To keep this short, some implementation details here: https://abacusnoir.com/2026/03/15/a-playground-for-gerbil-sc...

(Does have limitations in this early version, see the post for details on those too)
