I’m missing MySQL bindings for Scheme 48 or scsh. Well, I wrote ODBC bindings for scsh a few years ago, but using ODBC on UNIX systems is just too painful. Looking at ruby, I found out that it seems to be fairly easy to implement the MySQL protocol. Although there is no official documentation, there are some hints available on the web and the ruby source code is a second source of information. I’ll convince the next student entering my office door that this is a perfect term project.
