Are you saying this is inaccurate? Andy is far and away the top contributor, it's not even close. It really does seem to be a one man show.
- davexunit 10y agoGo away, troll.
- tree_of_item 10y agoWhat? It's a serious question. It'd be great if a flagship GNU project was a serious competitor with other programming languages, but it honestly looks like Guile is being kept afloat by one or two people. Why is mentioning this trolling?
- davexunit 10y agoSorry, but it seemed like you were trolling. Guile is not a one man show. I have been active in the Guile community for 5 years now, so I know. I will admit that the bus factor in the compiler portion of the code is high, driven almost exclusively by Andy, but he has done a significant amount of writing about how the compiler works and even listed several other improvements that can be done in an effort to get more people involved. I have no experience with compiler hacking and yet I was able to implement an optimization and get it into the 2.2 release. The commit history alone isn't enough to understand the group of people that push Guile forward.
- killin_dan 10y agoShame you're being downvoted. Your work inspired me to learn to program with guile and SICK a few years ago. Thanks for everything
- tree_of_item 10y agoBy "shame you're being downvoted", do you mean you agree that I'm trolling? Care to explain why? davexunit's contributions have nothing to do with this.
- amirouche 10y agoIt's almost acccurate, off by not much. There is a few contributions that don't appear here like guile-nash and guile-log which are respectively tracing JIT compiler and prolog in scheme runtime.
