Ricardo,

I just wanted to publicly say that your picture-language module has
already made for a great teaching tool. For people who have been
otherwise pensive about trying Scheme (and Guile particular), I have
been able to convince people to try the picture language module and they
have become fast to understand many basic guile concepts with ease.

I appreciate your work, and I wish you the best here.

Best,
Brett Gilio

That’s great!  Thank you for giving it a try.

I started work on what I called “Guile Studio”, a distribution of Emacs
that comes with Geiser, CUA-mode, flycheck for Guile, relevant tool bar
icons, and the picture language, among other things, to make it easier
for people to get started with Guile without having to first learn
Emacs.

You can find it here:

    https://git.elephly.net/software/guile-studio.git

To install it try this:

    git clone https://git.elephly.net/software/guile-studio.git
    cd guile-studio
    guix package -L guix -i guile-studio

Run “guile-studio” to start it.

I would appreciate contributions!
