It is getting closer, it's hard to say when it will arrive. I'm working full-time on the new C API for data type conversions, and I hope that I have strings and symbols nailed next week.

Hmm, my feeling is that this will not work very well with Guile since Guile is a much smaller project with fewer people working on it. > The current release schedule makes it very unattractive to > contribute to GUILE, since improvements take forever to reach the > stable branch. Yeah, I can understand this. Hopefully, changes will be smaller in the future so that we don't need to wait so long. -- GPG: D5D4E405 - 2F9B BCCC 8527 692A 04E3 331E FAF8 226A D5D4 E405 _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
