This document covers some of the background on how Cyclone was written, including aspects of the compiler and runtime system.
Before we get started it is important to mention my first serious open-source work in Scheme, [husk scheme](http://justinethier.github.io/husk-scheme). Husk is primarily an interpreter but over the course of its development I was led to many of the resources that would later be used to build Cyclone. In fact, the primary motivation in building Cyclone was to go a step further and understand not only how to write a Scheme compiler but also how to build a runtime system. Over time some of the features and understanding gained in Cyclone may be folded back into Husk.

Lastly and most importantly, Thank You to everyone that has contributed to the Scheme community. At the end of this document is a list of online resources that were the most helpful and/or influential in writing Cyclone. Without this abundance of online Scheme resources it would not have been possible to write Cyclone.
