It was actually me, as documented in the second paragraph here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Guile#History Due to the Tcl Wars some of the name suggestions were becoming offensive, especially to Dr. Ousterhout, so I thought I would suggest something more positive. To my astonishment, Tom Lord liked it and used it, over the objections of others. I'm dying of cancer so soon it won't matter, and I was never a part of Guile's inner circle anyway, so this isn't a truly important issue for me. If it would ruffle political feathers to take credit from Jim then I'm fine with leaving it as is, but I do feel responsibility to simply report it here - especially before someone else does and asks why the manual and Wikipedia don't match. --0000000000001e601705e72ba944 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
