whole-program FP compiler available

[John Nowak]

Felix Winkelmann, author of Chicken Scheme, has (sort of) released a  
whole-program FP -> C compiler written in FP. It's not exactly  
concatenative because it uses '.' to denote composition, but this is a  
rather minor deviation. The language is point-free and makes extensive  
use of the cleave combinator (called "construction" in FP). It's still  
in an early state, but it's already bootstrapped and usable:

I believe Felix is now on the list, so presumably he'd be able to  
comment should anyone have something to say.

This looks very cool, thanks Felix!
