I was expecting Clojure vs Common Lisp. I love scheme but it's not fair to include considering how few libraries there are (I don't even know if there is a package manager).
- mbakke 6y agoThe article mentions GNU Guix as "the" package manager for Guile Scheme. Now, Guix includes some 15000 non-Scheme packages, so it is somewhat "overkill". OTOH you can also install/run/dockerize a world of Common Lisp packages with Guix. :-)
- banjomet 6y agoGuix is a package manager written in scheme, but as the article states they are considering how to use it for guile if they do.
- uncletaco 6y agoThe article mentioned at least two scheme package managers: chicken-install and GNU Guix.
- sigzero 6y agoRacket has tons of packages and I believe it has everything he talked about (keyword arguments, etc.).
- banjomet 6y agoI also managed to completely forget about Racket. I was thinking only of Guile like an idiot.
- rscho 6y agoMaybe typing "scheme package manager" on google and clicking the very first link would help?
- banjomet 6y agoI remember reading about Raven when it came out for Cisco Scheme. I totally forgot about chicken scheme. I just remember being interested in Guile and sad that only guildhall was available.
