I'm considering building a market data/trading system prototype using Guile as a scripting language for the business rules (feed processing and speed-critical bits would be in C). My biggest concern at this point is performance degradation or pauses during garbage collection. I could do some work-arounds to avoid generating garbage, but I'd prefer not to have to resort to that.
