Jolt recently added two features from decoupling its runtime: program image serialization (similar to Common Lisp/Smalltalk) and a portable Scheme layer independent of the Chez runtime. The article explains how program images address production debugging challenges by capturing full program state, avoiding the limitations of traditional logging.
Background
Jolt is a Scheme implementation that has historically been tightly coupled to the Chez Scheme runtime. This update represents a significant architectural shift toward portability.
