I would agree, unless you can claim that it's easier to write a Perl to guile translator and embed guile in your application than to just embed the Perl interpreter into your application. I haven't seen much documentation suggesting why guile can support other languages better. Has someone written such a document? It would go a long way to getting the author of a new language to implement his language's interpreter or compiler ontop of guile. -- Thamer Al-Harbash GPG Key fingerprint: D7F3 1E3B F329 8DD5 FAE3 03B1 A663 E359 D686 AA1F "HLAGHLHALUAG (KTHANX)" _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
