Dreaming is OK, but once you wake up, you can try to exercise your search engine skills. Guile is well and alive (the Guilers meet every year at FOSDEM, talk videos seem to be available), Guile's maintainer (Andy Wingo) is doing an excellent job, and one of the more active Guile projects (Guix) has just celebrated its 1.0 release. The official web site is a good starting point: https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/ Ah, and Andy Wingo's blog is also recommended reading: https://wingolog.org As to guile-emacs, there are two things here: first, the project needs hands, it seems. I see four hands out there ;-) Second, not everyone here likes Scheme (and they might be right), so it would need some convincing (be sure to read the Emacs history by Stefan Monnier and Michael Sperber, posted elsewhere in this list). A good starting point on guile-emacs would be https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GuileEmacs So -- lots to do! Cheers -- t
