Dear guile users,
There's a quote I love from the manual [1]:
"Finally, so much of the world’s computation is performed in web
browsers that it makes sense to ask ourselves what the Guile-on-the-
web-client story is. With the advent of WebAssembly, there may finally
be a reasonable compilation target that’s present on almost all user-
exposed devices. Especially with the upcoming proposals to allow for
tail calls, delimited continuations, and GC-managed objects, Scheme
might once again have a place in the web browser. Get to it!"
I just wanted to say that it's a sweet idea.

Best regards,

As far as I know, this is the current state:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2017-08/msg00070.html
This is for Javascript, though, which misses tail calls. I don’t know
how much work it would be to migrate to webassembly.
Best wishes,
Arne
