The only reason Guile still exists is the stubbornes of GNU project to accept better alternative solutions over the course of time and push their own as the only true.
- kerkeslager 7y ago...which is a great thing if you want to write code that will still run in 30 years. If you're writing code geared toward a company's quarterly report, the long-term doesn't matter, but that's not everyone's goal.
- chrisseaton 7y agoI don't really know where you're coming from - Guile is a leading implementation of Scheme. It's valuable by itself.
- lloda 7y agoI've been a Guile user since 2001 or 2002 and all these years it's been a workhorse for me. Even before there was a compiler or before the compiler started getting better, Guile was a solid choice for embedding. Each of the alternatives had issues. Now that Scheme runs faster I get to write more Scheme and less C and I couldn't be happier.
