-Cyclone is a brand-new Scheme-to-C compiler that uses [Cheney on the MTA](http://www.pipeline.com/~hbaker1/CheneyMTA.html) to implement full tail recursion, continuations, and generational garbage collection. In addition, Cyclone extends the Cheney on the MTA concept to allow execution of multiple native threads. An on-the-fly garbage collector is used to manage the second-generation heap and perform major collections without "stopping the world".

Cyclone is the first compiler written entirely in the latest R7RS Scheme language standard. A large portion of the language is supported and the goal is for Cyclone to allow practical development of applications using R7RS.
