The impedance mismatch between Scheme and the JVM is a lot less than what the writer thinks. Here's the comment I just added to the post:
You don’t need primitive-static-method in Kawa as of several years ago. It’s just there for backward compatibility. Newer syntax for calling Java methods is much easier:

- brlewis 18y agoI can only remember two cases where I had to turn on the full-tail-call option to the Kawa compiler, and even then performance wasn't a problem. The SISC Scheme interpreter does reasonably well too, and it has full tail call optimization all the time.
