I see it as a competitor, for what I use guile for: deploying software
written in Scheme to GNU platforms (must publish more of them). Do you
think I should be using GNU/MIT instead?
Then again, given that most of what I want to do seems to involve
interfacing with C things, should I stick with Guile? Our OS is
written mostly in C, so aren't all things just extensions to C?
This move has confused me. I thought Guile was GNU's Scheme and GNU's
scripting language of choice. I was wondering if Guile knew where they
fit in now that GNU has another Scheme implementation. So far, it
seems not, unless they are to be just embedded extensions.
