Guile itself is cool. Its documentation, however, sucks. It's really quite terrible. The manual is a haphazard mix of several reference documents, a half-hearted tutorial, and whole lot of jargon that's not explained. It seems there was a period where Guile was considered a serious contender for the space now occupied by Python. My impression is that GNU lost mindshare and the opportunity because the Guile documentation takes a simple, elegant language and makes it inaccessible for newcomers. Python was known for being well-documented and easy to approach. I'm curious what other's take on the history is.
