Tell me you don't know much about Guile without telling me you don't know much about Guile. The whole vision of Guile from the get-go was to give it the ability to transpile languages programmers liked, such as Perl or Python, into Scheme and thus become a universal extension runtime for GNU software.
That dream got closer to reality with Guile 2.0 and its multi-language "compiler tower" which already supports ECMAScript and a subset of Emacs Lisp. But Scheme is Guile's native tongue, so you don't have to learn how to use those in order to be a "fully competent Guile developer", and you wouldn't have to learn Wisp either.
