Hey everyone,

You all are right about Apple disallowing any interpreted code.
However, as Marc previously stated, there's nothing they can do about
compiling Scheme to C, and compiling the C code for the iPhone.

I was able to get Gambit Scheme compiled for the iPhone and write a
small application on top of it.  I wrote an article about my
experiences and gave detailed instructions of how to do this
yourself.  Writing iPhone apps in Scheme is surely feasible (mostly
because of the incredible portability of Gambit).
