Happy birthday Guile 2.0!

Hello,

(Please follow-up to guile-user@gnu.org.)

Today is the first anniversary of GNU Guile 2.0 [0].  To celebrate it,
while some were doing serious work on Guile itself, several hackers took
on the challenge to come up in one week with a neat hack to showcase
Guile integration [1].

This challenge led to a few birthday hacks (and probably some that
didn’t meet the deadline):

  • Ian Price quickly came up with GDBM bindings, written with Guile’s
    dynamic foreign function interface (FFI):
    <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2012-02/msg00020.html>.

  • Nala Ginrut wrote BIG, for “Bash Inner Guile”, which extends Bash
    with the ability to evaluate Scheme expressions:
    <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2012-02/msg00026.html>.

  • Mike Gran polished his port of GNU Zile to Guile:
    <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2012-02/msg00033.html>.

    Shortly after, he released a new version, along with an
    implementation of Tetris in Scheme that uses GNU Guile-Ncurses:
    <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2012-02/msg00041.html>.

  • Ludovic Courtès brought Guile-GCC, which allows GCC to be extended
    in Guile: <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2012-02/msg00323.html>.

Happy birthday Guile 2.0, and happy GNU hacking!

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Besides, the BIG also can be use in Bash script. But if you didn't build
BIG within Bash, you must load it in script each time:

------------test.sh--------------
#! /bin/bash

enable -f ./big big

e=5
a=$(big "(expt 2 ${e})")
echo "result is ${a}"
------------end---------------

$ ./test.sh
result is 32

BTW, if you made BIG a builtin command, which means put BIG into Bash src
and build it. You can use BIG for Guile exp evaluation!
Enjoy!
