Hello Guilers! The Guile logo has this “GNU extension language” baseline. As Guile 3 came out, this baseline felt odd to me, not quite corresponding to the way I see Guile.
Clearly, Guile is still an extension language, with many great applications (Gnucash, Lepton-EDA, OpenCog, GDB, etc.), and I’m sure libguile is here to stay. Yet, to me, “extension language” does not accurately capture what Guile today allows for and what people have been doing with it; since 2.0, it’s more than an extension language, even more so with the performance afforded by Guile 3. Thus, I’d propose changing the baseline. Something that would describe what Guile is to me is: GNU, fast, fun, functional What’s about you? What’s Guile to you? :-) Ludo’.
