I’ve never used fash, but I’m all for getting it in Guile proper if Andy is fine with it. In general, I agree that having more functional data structures in Guile is desirable. Would someone be willing to turn it into a proper Guile module with a section in the manual and some tests? > Nice to be back in Guile land! Heh, good to see you back here! :-) Ludo’.
