I agree that when you want to use a C library that's already there, the state of FFI in Guile is awesome. However, you sometime need to write your own C code for low level stuffs. For example, I require C for developing custom memory allocators, fast audio mixing with SIMD, multi-threading with OpenMP, etc. These require many tweaks in the build system to integrate correctly with Guile at compile and run times. -- Olivier Dion Polymtl
