      &gt; Why not just use Scheme directly, what&#x27;s the benefit of porting to Hoot?<p>Scheme is not a thing you use directly, you have to select an implementation. Hoot is one such implementation (targeting execution on WASM).

      Presumably to run in the browser? Guile Scheme is great for native programs but you need Hoot to run it in a browser.

      I think the second sentence of the article covers that pretty simply? To run it in the browser with wasm?<p>&gt; One of the most exciting things I&#x27;ve been doing with this is getting my Scheme to compile to the Web thanks to Hoot.
