In addition, the Cheney on the MTA concept has been extended 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.
