after the racket interview on floss weekly I briefly looked at
embedding racket in an application, just checked how feasible it was
compared to python3, according to one of the devs the runtime is ~5mb
or so. (iirc py lib is under 1mb), for sawfish something minimal like
tiny-scheme probably is a better fit.
