Hey all,
Just a rando on the internet, but wanted to chime in and express
my support for the idea of low-hanging fruit fixes to make Guile
more approachable. Since nobody else called it out yet,

Just a reminder I'm doing a presentation that covers all this (almost
verbatim!) and more for Guix Days :)
(ie Christine you be stealing my thunder! 😆 🤣 😂)
I'm kidding (kinda). it doesn't hurt to have the conversations already
rolling and im sure it will mean the session will be extra productive

It looks to be about as spicy as a cucumber. :)
I remembered that the R7RS Large process was giving library names to
SRFIs, but it looks

Really grateful for that email, I agree on the Racket manuals, though I
totally get the PLT comment of your friend. I also had somehow never heard
of guile studio, really excited to check that out.
Guide vs Reference
As I put in the other email I have alot of thoughts about this too! More

My 2 cents:
- Doing something in Guile is tough. I've been trying since 2011.
Why is it tough?
- The manual is written by very smart people for very smart people. Not for

will probably still be not-trivial. At the end of the

I believe that a roadmap for the future of Guile is due. There were
discussions last months on the mailing list for recruting a new
maintainer and perhaps making a group of hackers to develop Guile. I
don't know if things will g
release notes:
Most changes from GDBM 1.10 to 1.19 are now included.
Explicitly not included are dump/load (export/import) procs.
There are command-line tools for that, probably.
