There's a long thread on guix-devel which is related and touches on many things, but I thought I'd narrow in on this one thing.
Has anyone had a "good" experience programming with Guile without using Emacs? If so, what was your development experience like? Furthermore, what's the right direction to making non-Emacs users have as nice of an experience as Emacs users do? Racket, for instance, has lovely support in vscode with "Magic Racket". What's the right path to recommend for the present, and what's the best path to improve the future? LSP? There are a few incomplete implementations I think but I haven't tried them. (Let's leave aside whether or not everyone should be using Emacs, or other approaches to make Emacs easier for newcomers. This thread is specifically about making Guile useful to people who already have a tool they like and present experiences.) - Christine
