+Kali Scheme is currently an abandoned? project started by Nec Research
+Institute.
+It is based upon Scheme
+48 . Currently the active
+development branch can be found at the
+arch repository. At this time it is recommened for you to use the
+stable version in the tarball. If you would
+like to contribute contact me at zitterbewegung (at) gmail (dot) com or
+on freenode
+in #scheme. (Note the rest of this website

Kali Scheme is a distributed implementation of Scheme that permits
efficient transmission of higher-order objects such as closures and
-continuations. The integration of distributed communication
+continuations. The integration of distributed communication
facilities within a higher-order programming language engenders a
number of new abstractions and paradigms for distributed computing.
Among these are user-specified load-balancing and migration policies
for threads, incrementally-linked distributed computations, and
-parameterized client-server applications.

-Kali Scheme supports concurrency and communication using first-class
-procedures and continuations. It integrates procedures and continuations
-into a message-based distributed framework that allows any Scheme object
-(including code vectors) to be sent and received in a message. Some of
