Cyclone is an experimental Scheme-to-C compiler that uses a variant of the [Cheney on the MTA](http://www.pipeline.com/~hbaker1/CheneyMTA.html) technique to implement full tail recursion, continuations, and generational garbage collection. Unlike previous Cheney on the MTA compilers, Cyclone also allows 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".
