Hi All,
I posed a question on #guile IRC last weekend asking for use cases for
making Guile
multi-lingual. The use case that came up was the desire to use Guile as
an extension
that supports multiple languages for users. To that end, I wonder how
important it is
to make these extension languages meet published language conventions or
standards.
I believe to do so is too difficult: the Guile community does not have
the volunteer
workforce people to achieve this. I think it would be more practical to
look for
reasonable approximations. If this is the direction to go, then should
Guile name
these extension languages according to what they attempt to mimic (e.g.,
javascript),
or rather rename to something that has a similar sounding name (e.g.,
guavascript), or,
as another option, rename with an extension monicker (e.g., javascriptx)?
