For the adventurous, the current snapshot of Swarm, has built-in
support for the Scheme programming language.

 ftp://ftp.swarm.org/pub/swarm/src/testing

See the tools/ subdirectory for some examples.

Scheme, as integrated, has some nice properties:

 1) You can call Swarm features from scripts.

 2) Scheme can create expressions on the fly, e.g. evolution of behavior
    (and Swarm can call them)

 3) Unlike shell scripts or Tcl, it has real types and clear semantics.

 4) Lisp serialization data can be loaded and saved.
