Nice Scheme for on the go

Excellent scheme implementation for programming on the iPhone where I’m using it. Built in Emacs is decent, but I can’t figure out the how or where the Meta key is.

Any help appreciated on that problem, otherwise, a very good solution for Lispers and Schemers without access to a full computer.

Good utility for schemers

I use and like gambitc on the desktop and find the REPL useful to address ad hoc problems on an iPad when away from desktop. It also serves as a fantastic high precision calculator.

This issue has been fixed soon after it was reported.

Good App

The app is good for on the go calculations but not for writing programs. It has a tendency to crash and if you hit an infinite loop the app will stop working completely.
