2023-10-17 Thread Mike Gran
I heard that Thien-Thi Nguyen passed away last year. This was
recently reported on the emacs and gnu-community mailing lists, but
I don't think it was mentioned here (and apologies if it was already
mentioned.)

TTN was a bit of a maverick in the Guile world, preferring
the 1.x series and maintaining libraries for it.

TTN wrote a binding for Guile to SDL 1, maintained a library
of www and cgi routines for Guile, wrote a
postgres binding, and for a long time
maintained his own fork of Guile 1.4.

TTN and I had a few conversations about Guile and we
collaborated for a moment on GNU Serveez, in which he was
kind and helpful.

Regards,
Mike Gran

Glad you're excited, Nala! :)

Yes!  Hoot compiles from the "CPS Soup" intermediate layer, so
everything is already expanded by that state. :)
