Perhaps. I dunno. Sounds wrong to me. But: I dunno. Advice: pick some big app to work on. Work on that app. Slow down work on the guile core -- but revise the core as your experience on the big app accumulates. In other words, whether or not there should be such a rule seems to me to be the kind of question that experience can help you decide. Write Emacs from scratch, in pure Guile, or something. Or blow S48 out of the water as a SCSH host by writing Guile replacements for all of the text and shell utils. -t _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
