Hello Guile Users! I have a question regarding usage of SRFIs in Guile code.
Sometimes there are core functions, which are also available from an SRFI implementation. One example I am currently dealing with are bitwise operations for integer numbers. There is SRFI 60 and there are the core functions like logand, logior and so on. Usually I tend to think, that using the SRFI implementation in such situation is better, as it is an implementation of a common interface, which other Schemes might also have implemented. Using that makes code more portable to other Schemes. However, I want to be sure, that this is a good way of thinking about it. Are there ever arguments against using an SRFI implementation, when an SRFI implementation provides what I need? Another example are structs. I usually use SRFI 9 to make some structs, instead of the core record or struct type. What do you think? Best regards, Zelphir
