By re-implementing do you mean re-writing Make with Guile? That ought
to be realistic, but I really do not see the point of it.
What is more realistic and useful is to make a build system in Guile
where the DSL that replaces Makefiles is Scheme.
I think this already exist in GNU make. Recent versions of it can be
extended in GNU guile:
https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Guile-Function.html
BTW, my pet open source project (which uses GNU make without the guile
extension) is the RefPerSys open source inference engine project (mostly
coded in C++, with the ambition to generate C++ code or machine code
thru GNU lightning), see https://github.com/RefPerSys/RefPerSys/ (and
amateurish website http://refpersys.org/ ....). Contributors are welcome.
