It's not an elisp->scheme compiler.
- wtbob 11y agoWhat does it compile to, if not Scheme? And, regardless, I wish that they'd not used Scheme. I really, really wish that they'd not used Scheme.
- jabl 11y agoI'm not that familiar with guile internals, but IIRC they have some intermediate representation (bytecode?) that the VM then runs. So the frontend languages (Scheme, Elisp, even Javascript IIRC) are compiled to bytecode, the Guile VM then interprets the bytecode.
