But we aren't talking about "Scheme", we're talking about Guile, which is significantly larger. It has modules and OO and all kinds of other stuff. While I rather like CL, and much prefer it to Scheme, I don't see why we need to consider either. I don't see much wrong with elisp as it is. In my view it simply is not among the major limiting factors of Emacs. Tom
