I have recently been working on getting Chez Scheme 10.0.0 into Debian and have uploaded it to Debian experimental. After some minor fixes it now builds on most archs except armel and x32, using bytecode where a native port is not available. Please test it and report any bugs in the Debian bug tracker.

If you develop products that use cellular technologies, then this post is for you. I’ve been a programmer for about 30 years and for the past five years I’ve worked with IoT products and other embedded systems.

The comments on this blog are now back from their GDPR-induced coma. I’m using a custom comment system powered by HTMX and a backend built on Loko Scheme. While writing the backend, one thing lead to another and I wanted to see if my HTTP message parser could crash. This is when I discovered that the AFL support in Loko Scheme had suffered bit rot. I have repaired it now and wanted to demonstrate how to fuzz Scheme code with Loko Scheme and AFL++.

I have had some free time recently between working for clients, and took this opportunity to implement new features for Akku’s website.
