Re: What about Guile ?

That simply is nonsense. Non-Guile Scheme implementations are at least as common as extension languages as Guile itself. Fortunately, at the *language* level, the Guile folks have since made sensible choices wrt language design, reversing some of RMS's insane original ideas, and basically making Guile a standard Scheme implementation. The trick is to use a standard *language*, not a "standard" implementation. Then you can make decisions independent of the actual substrate at hand. This is actually not so difficult with Guile as it requires minimal cooperation from the C code. That very same property makes it a problematic choice for an XEmacs substrate. -- Cheers =8-} Chipsy Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla
