Yes, I was mistaken about the SLIME integration. I only used a primitive REPL. The rest of your response is total garbage. Guile is a really good Scheme impl

- latiera 12y agoDepends what you mean by really good Scheme implementation. Guile is a GNU project, which means that if you care about (say) Windows (gasp), you're shit out of luck. The same used to be true about OSX 2-3 years ago, I haven't bothered to check again since then. Coupled with the fact, that maybe 2-3? people are actively working on Guile (guess what platform they're focusing on), and that pretty much nobody is using Guile besides little toy projects, things are not looking good. No, a really good Scheme implementation would be, Racket or Chicken. Hell, even Gambit is objectively better and more mature than Guile. I guess you're too blind to see that.
- dllthomas 12y ago"Guile is a GNU project, which means that if you care about (say) Windows (gasp), you're shit out of luck." Are you using StumpWM on windows?
- latiera 12y agoI am addressing Guile being in my view one of the worst Scheme implementations out there, StumpWM has nothing to do with this. Being tied to, effectively, a single platform does.
- dllthomas 12y agoSure. I just think it's a little weird to demand portability from something whose raison d'être is as an extension language for its host OS, in a context where we were originally discussing an extension language for something that is likewise non-portable.
