Guile arrays were implemented before srfi-25 existed and aren't supposed to be compatible with it. There are many other array srfis all with incompatible syntaxes...

However srfi-25 is tiny so it should be really simple to implement it on top of Guile arrays. If you or anyone else submits a patch, I'm sure it will be considered.

hello,

why guile array differs from SRFI 25:
make-array syntax :
 https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Array-Procedures.html

(make-array 'ho 2 3) ⇒ #2((ho ho ho) (ho ho ho))


different than srfi 25:

https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-25/srfi-25.html

(make-array shape obj)


Returns a newly allocated array whose shape is given by
shape.  If obj is provided, then each element is
initialized to it. Otherwise the initial contents of each element is
unspecified. The array does not retain a dependence to
shape.


it creates incompatibilties in code .
