Hello everybody,
I have been doing some Scheme work in Guile over the past few week and I’m the
one weirdo who doesn’t use Emacs, I use Nvim instead. The lack of proper REPL
support was annoying me, I had to go through the ritual of opening a new
terminal buffer and starting Guile with the corr
Thank you for you responses, I will try to respond to them all in one email.

Emacs is a power tool. Giving someone Emacs to write a simple script is like
handing someone a jackhammer to nail plywood together. OK, maybe I’m stretching
If I may add my two cents as a Scheme layman: the question is not so much about
making Guile more popular, but about making Scheme itself more popular.
One big reason for Python’s popularity is something I haven’t seen mentioned in
this thread so far: if you know pseudocode you basically know Py

Only if both addition and multiplication are defined for the type. In a
group-like structure there is only one operation, while ring-like structures
Hello,
I have been trying to write a Guile library for 3D motion and I wrote a
‘vector3’ class and added the method ‘*’ for scaling a vector. This works fine
for any scalar, except for ‘-1’. Here is a minimal code example, I am using
Guile 2.0.14 on OS X 10.11.6:
(use-modules (oop goops))
