In comparison to the new site the first sentence on the old one throws me off:
Guile is the GNU Ubiquitous Intelligent Language for Extensions, the
official extension language for the GNU operating system.
Oh, so it is a language for writing plugins in. Kinda cool, but Python seems
more newbie friendly than scheme for the same purpose. Might have a niche for
some more scientific applications...
Compared to the new site:
Guile is designed to help programmers create flexible applications that can
be extended by users or other programmers with plug-ins, modules, or
scripts.
That sounds much more general purpose. Maybe you would write the whole
application in guile not just part of it.
