inc's Issues

Step by step?

FWIW, I happened on this project just a moment ago and it’s not clear to me what is meant by step-by-step or the current state of the project.

Is the idea that this is what you got from following the various tutorials? I.e. this project is not a tutorial but rather the completion of an exercise.

In that case step-by-step is a little confusing since what’s available now in an end product.

Which Scheme implementation does the Makefile rely on?

Hi, I'm keen to run the tests.

Could you make a note in the README about which version of Scheme was used?
