Hi all,
Is anyone working on a aarch64 port to the project [1]?
https://github.com/cisco/ChezScheme
Thanks.
I'm not aware of anyone working on it. It might be worthwhile to at least create a github issue for it (there is one for RISC-V). The code generator in Chez is fairly custom, but there are a lot of similarities between aarch32 and aarch64, so it would be a relatively easier port.
Porting Chez to aarch64 would also be a big springboard to getting Racket working on aarch64.

It turned out that it seems aarch64 is already support a recent port:
https://github.com/racket/ChezScheme/blob/master/s/arm64.ss
The port is mentioned in the Racket 7.8 release announcement. I don't know why it hasn't been merged upstream yet.
I suspect Racket's use of ChezScheme dominates all other uses of ChezScheme. I'm not even sure how active the upstream really is.
