For that last bit, I have done the following in babelia: https://github.com/amirouche/guile-babelia/blob/87ae25b56777ab6072759bbe80bb80851d0d9174/babelia/pool.scm#L89-L108 I am wondering why the existing parallel for do not work for you: https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Parallel-Forms.html > Regards, > > Zelphir > > -- Amirouche ~ https://hyper.dev
