Hey, good to hear from you.
Yes, this is my bailiwick. For the past few years I've been writing code
transformation tools. The semantic "essence" you mention is usually in what
the industry calls an AST (abstract syntax tree), and in other data (symbol
tables, at a minimum). This is very analogous

And what about Windows?
Guile 1.4.x is probably not even compilable there, dunno (never
tried, never intend to boot windows to try). However, no worries:
it looks like Neil Jerram DTRT for official Guile.

recasting at runtime [...] also supports writing out recast
code - although perhaps at the cost of losing some formatting
and comments.
A good start! In my mind, the formatting and comments are part
of the essence.

No 1.4.x commit yet but i plan to do w/o configure checks since

Heh. As the years go by, I have come to venerate any code,
old or new, less and less. It's always broken, and never actually
does what you want, anyways.

Cool. (I like ratpoison, and I wasn't aware it had been abandoned. A
Guile-enabled ratpoison would be great.)
Perhaps i should have distiguished what was abandoned: the C code,

I've just about finished porting ratpoison (a CVS snapshot prior to its
author's abandoning it in favor of stumpwm) to Guile (1.4.x) scheme.
This means no more Xlib (et al)!
However, the last bit of C glue (outside of ttn-do) it needs is getsid(2).
Here is the Guile 1.4.x-flavored wrapping:
