These are great — and I hope I can use guile-config. I tend to write
quick commandline tools which sometimes begin to grow wild. Elegant
commandline parsing is still one of the things with which I had problems
in Guile, and I hope that guile-config can fix that. It already shows
what can be gained in expressivity by macros.

Best wishes,
Arne

Thank you! And great you want to use it — I'll try to get a proper
release ASAP then :-)

Indeed, that was exactly my itch to scratch too!

Quite, though the macros are primarily in the (monads) library, which
was of course written by Ludo.  I still want to develop some nice macros
for the actual configuration syntax, but I figure a nice syntax might
organically reveal itself to me in time.

I'd definitely be really keen in getting a config file writer/reader
working using wisp too.  The more I think about it, the more I like the
idea!

Much better than the lame command-line handling in Guix I must say.  :-)
Looking forward to a release!

Hah, well the Guix command-line options are still pretty well documented
for the fact that there seem to be, like, a billion-zillion of them!
Must be testament to the coding standards in the project :-)

Also, there are some corner cases used in Guix that are definitely not
yet supported in Config:
- the special '--' command-line param
- I think it was Guix environment that supports a 'positional keyword
  command-line parameter' — that's definitely still off the cards

Anyway, yes, must release!

Here are my slides from my talk in the Guile devroom.

https://fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/guixhurd/attachments/slides/1219/export/events/attachments/guixhurd/slides/1219/guix_to_hurd_fosdem_20160130.pdf

I want to thank everyone for this awesome experience and especially
Pjotr for organizing the room and reminding me to talk faster :P

Cool, thank you!

If it works with scheme code, it should directly work with Wisp, too —
thanks to the language integration in Guile.

That said, I’d like to see how it looks when written in Wisp. Looking
forward to a release!

Best wishes,
Arne
