Gerbil hasn't scaled to enough users or contributors to call it a
success. But at least it's not a failure.

Right now, I would say that the high barrier to documenting and
testing is a pain.

Ideally, we'd be able to do literate programming of the code + doc +
tests. But that's work.

Gerbil would require bootstrapping on top of those various Scheme
implementations. The current version of Gerbil is quite tied to Gambit
Scheme for all I/O or lower-level functions.

Gerbil *could* be ported to other Scheme implementations (and was, in
the past). But in a way, it would not be a "standard Scheme library
collection", unless you somehow hacked the library systems to become
interoperable. I'm not sure if that's possible in a portable way, but
identifying the gap would be interesting—and could lead to a SRFI for
extending the library system that way to make that possible.

cond-expand itself doesn't work very portably, does it?
