The one tool that uses Guile while dominating its domain.

Same for me. That Guile takes effort to make extending easy
distinguishes Guile from all the just-scripting languages out there, and
also from many other Schemes.

Actually I’d love to see Guile become better at this: to make it easier
to deploy an application that uses Guile in a statically compiled
binary.

Basically to generalize what LilyPond is doing.

Best wishes,
