i am not sure i qualify as a developer :), but i certainly want to try
guile out, and even explore switching to guile instead of elisp.

For one, i kinda understand guile will be a much more universal
language than Elisp..  and will be interoperable with several
applications and languages in the long run..  It will be the standard
'GNU extension language'..

yes.  not much.   scheme is nice :)
