Hello. I am announcing guile-gi v0.0.2. guile-gi is a library that autogenerates GNU 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. This particular library is one of several different attempts and solving the interface between GTK+3 and Guile. Its differentiating (mis)feature is that its bindings are created dynamically at runtime by parsing typelib files. This is pre-alpha code. Use at your own risk. The NEWS for this release is - Improvements in C-to-SCM procedure argument conversions - Guix skeleton (thanks Jan) - More versatile GObject construction (thanks LordYuuma) - More tests and demos 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-0.0.2.tar.gz To read about what this library is supposed to do, check out https://spk121.github.io/guile-gi/Getting-Started.html Regards, Mike Gran
