No. I think systas is pretty much a dead end -- but there's a bunch of useful bits and pieces in there. A frustrating aspect of systas has been that, just when I think I've finally killed it, I have some practical problem to solve for which it is the best available solution. A nice property of Guile is that there is _enough_ code using it to make it attractive to an audience larger than its developers, yet not _so much_ code that the design or language is carved in stone. Another nice property is that it has the GNU label, which, in the long run, I hope stands for technical excellence. Yours from the "just rumour and here-say" underground.... -t p.s.: tb -- i've been wondering for a few years now: a lot of my scheme plans derive from stuff that was "in the air" around the 4th floor and MIT generally a while back.
