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 > For example, why exactly should somebody > use Guile instead of SCM or Bigloo: > what are the specific advantages and > what is the downside.

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. -- Christopher Cramer Quoi que vous fassiez, écrasez l'infâme, et aimez qui vous aime. -- Voltaire _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
