I was talking to people in the Lisp Discord (https://discord.gg/WUSUuA5VAu), 
and I said the following about Guile and Hoot. However, I don't want to spread 
misinformation, so please correct me if I'm wrong

```
Yeah guile isn’t portable
Having talked to some of the maintainers, seems like the plan is to switch over 
to hoot/wasm as the backend for guile
Since that’s much more portable and also some of the guile people work on the 
WASM standard I think
basically
GNU Guile native scripts and GNU Lightning are not going away, they will still 
be native
but to actually redistribute them as standalone binaries and stuff, wasm is 
probably going to be the way to go
so like, if you want to package up your Guile script and not rely on a 
preexisting runtime on your computer, you'll need to use Guile Hoot instead, I 
hope that makes sense
```
I believe that's the intention of the people working on Guile and Hoot, 
especially since Mr. Wingo has been working on a WASM to C translation backend 
for Guile Hoot specifically (https://codeberg.org/andywingo/wastrel)
