Yeah, I never got around to writing a GC for Ur-Scheme either—you could argue that it's also "half-finished" but it does successfully compile itself correctly. It's not so much the GC that matters as it is the ability to allocate on the heap without much ceremony. I should have thought of that before I posted, and I appreciate the correction.
