Hello. I am announcing guile-gi v0.0.1. guile-gi is a library that autogenerates Guile bindings for GObject libraries that provide typelib files. GNU Guile is an implementation of Scheme, a Lisp-like language. GObject is a standard way of writing C-language libraries with headers and introspection information that are intended to allow them to be used from other languages. Typelib files are GObject's standard way to provide that introspection information. Among the GObject libraries are GTK3 and WebKitGTK2, two popular GUI libraries.
In short, this library hopes to make GTK3 and WebKit2 available to Guile. The git repo is at https://github.com/spk121/guile-gi.git The code can be browsed at https://github.com/spk121/guile-gi The almost non-existent documentation can be read at https://spk121.github.io/guile-gi/ A tarball can be downloaded from http://lonelycactus.com/tarball/guile-gi-0.0.1.tar.gz To read about what this library is supposed to do, check out https://spk121.github.io/guile-gi/Getting-Started.html To see an example autogenerated library binding, check out https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spk121/guile-gi/master/test/Gtk_sample.scm This is pre-alpha code which I am releasing well before it is useful or ready, mostly for academic interest.
