There's some stuff in CVS discussing this, e.g.:

http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/guile/guile/workbook/policy/plans.text?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/guile/guile/workbook/tasks/TODO?rev=1.33&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

I haven't checked out SCM in a long time, so there is a slight possibility
this isn't true anymore, but the advantage Guile has over SCM is that
integration with C is much easier. There was some reason why I decided
to use Guile instead of Bigloo, but I really can't remember what it
was anymore. I know SCM is a little faster than Guile, but I was not
under the impression that Bigloo was.
