That sounds like a pretty good idea to me; it would be nice to get some synergy from the Perl folks, and it seems like with a common bytecode backend there could be some very nice interoperation potentials (i.e. guile having a perl evaluator or some craziness like that). Maybe this is more of a practical direction to achieve the Guile dream of multiple extension language syntaxes, too (not sure exactly how or if it relates, but it seems like a possibility). b.g. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
