I don't think it's actually under further development right now -- I believe it's dormant. FWIW I worked with/on hobbit and guile 1.5.X for a while, and concluded (after some discussion) that before I spent any more time on hobbit/vm/lightning, etc. guile needed a bit more fundamental work on its executation model. Until then I suspect it's going to be much harder to make substantial progress on the other compilation fronts. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org, @linuxdevel.com, and @debian.org Previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG=1C58 8B2C FB5E 3F64 EA5C 64AE 78FE E5FE F0CB A0AD _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
