Some things that I think could use some improvement:
When you play a video while you're talking, make sure that the
volume of the video is very low so we can still hear you. For
example, around 4.20 I can't hear you anymore (headphone). At
least the music is good.
There's time where you say Guix when you meant Guile or Scheme I
think. For example around 13.40, you show a Git tree as a S-exp
and refer to Guix.
Looks like there's a latency between the audio and video. Maybe
it's peertube and not your recorder.
If you use the REPL again for a presentation that is presented
live, I would suggest to add page number so that it's easier to ask
questions and reference the good slide. In theory, one can use the
$* variable of the REPL for that also.
The very good points of your presentation I think are:
Your language is impeccable and very cleared/articulated.
I like that you show your real world usage of Guile. I feel that it's
very important to show what Guile is capable of and that it can be
used in a professional working environment.
Overall, a great presentation.
For your `scribble jam` project, maybe you should look into
guile-chickadee <https://dthompson.us/projects/chickadee.html>. It's a
game development toolkit -- based on guile-opengl -- which I think
support most of what you want. So you could use it in some way for your
project.
Other comments:
For `Initialization with C` I would call it `C runtime initialization`.
IMO, `Snarfing macro` should be in the same section as FFI.
`Scheduling` -> `Multi-Threading` | `Parallelism`.
`GOOPS` should be under `Guile Modules` or renamed to `Object
Oriented Programming` like `Functionnal programming`.
SXML is not just used in Web. So I'm not sure if it should be
under the same section. Perhaps under parsing?
`File Tree Walk` moved to `File System` and rename `POSIX/File System`
to just `File System`.
Best regards,
old
