There is no such big-ish projects using Guile outside projects embedding Guile and guix. There is no wordpress or even framework as powerful and easy to use as Django or Rails. There is no support for https, it's kind of a no-go if you want to access REST APIs from Guile. Cookie support is not good enough. That said, the creator of Artanis reported some success using Artanis in a commercial setting. Outside that there is various free projects in the work, look at Guile homepage or ask on #guile. On my side I am working on search engine named Culturia.

- armitron 10y agoIt is preposterous to expect people to write their own HTTPS support on top of something as primitive as GnuTLS! This attitude towards practicality, if you will, that runs rampant in scheme-land is one of the major barriers for adoption. If you look at Common Lisp, these issues do not exist, the end result being a multitude of substantial real-world projects across a variety of domains (commercial, opensource, academia, industry and so on).
- davexunit 10y agoNot so fast, there is an open bug report to move HTTPS support into Guile proper. The (non-trivial) work just needs to be done to make it happen. The Guile maintainers very much care about usability.
