Hello! We're VERY excited to announce that the Spritely Institute is launching a Guile->WebAssembly project!
https://spritely.institute/news/guile-on-web-assembly-project-underway.html This is aiming for a real, proper version of WebAssembly compilation you can imagine wanting: no emscripten compilation of the entire Guile runtime, nah... what we're talking about is *direct* compilation from Guile to WebAssembly! We're also hiring for a position related directly to this: https://spritely.institute/jobs/compiler-engineer.html Additionally we'll be working with an external European contractor who's very familiar with Guile and WebAssembly both but I won't say who they are yet until that announcement is ready from their end. But those of you at FOSDEM can talk with Jessica Tallon who will be there and knows a lot more details. ;) This will be huge for Guile, Scheme, and the broader programming language world in general I think: this is a big and ambitious project obviously, but we're riding some new WebAssembly extensions to be on the cutting edge of a future where it's not just "you gotta write Javascript to be usable in browsers"... Scheme too, and I'm sure other languages will follow in our path! So yeah, that also means... Spritely in the browser! Get hyped! - Christine Lemmer-Webber, Spritely Networked Communities Institute CTO
