GNU Guile
I’ve been doing more Emacs Lisp as of late and I wanted a change of pace. It seemed a natural fit to learn in a similar ecosystem. Emacs Lisp isn’t recent but GNU Guile is.

- fileeditview 8y agoFrom time to time I play around with Racket. Do you have experience with both? Can you compare?
- cjallen88 8y agoGuile is a traditional scheme, its niche being scripting and extension of existing programs. Racket is more batteries included, and comes with an IDE, a package manager and build tools. It self describes a a language creation platform and includes a typed language, a prolog like language and several learning languages, used in their book How To Design Programs. I’ve used Racket at home and work and enjoy using it, but I prefer traditional Lisp syntax.
