Hiya Guilers,
I've just started Sussman & Hanson's new book "Software Design for Flexibility"
and am trying to translate one of the functions from MIT-Scheme to Guile:
#+BEGIN_SRC scheme

Hiya Guilers,
Blake here, who delivered the presentation on the Guile documentation
for Guix Days recently[1]. I'm in the process of gathering a summary
of the proposed changes which I'll send out in the next week or two,
but in the meantime I was hoping I can pick your brains on other
matters.

extra-scheme practices from the outset (things not in the core spec but
widely implemented like pattern matching) and gets straight into the goods
by concluding with a simple

If this initiative takes off I'd like to offer my help however I could

Hiya guilers,
Right now I am working on a window manager extension system in Guile and
GOOPs, and I want to eliminate the boilerplate for generating class slots,
with a syntax-case macro like:

(λ (form)
(syntax-case form ()
((_ catego
Nice, thank you! Hope its accepted into guix quickly :)
