I heard that Thien-Thi Nguyen passed away last year. This was
recently reported on the emacs and gnu-community mailing lists, but
I don't think it was mentioned here (and apologies if it was already
mentioned.)

TTN was a bit of a maverick in the Guile world, preferring
the 1.x series and maintaining libraries for it.

TTN wrote a binding for Guile to SDL 1, maintained a library
of www and cgi routines for Guile, wrote a
postgres binding, and for a long time
maintained his own fork of Guile 1.4.

TTN and I had a few conversations about Guile and we
collaborated for a moment on GNU Serveez, in which he was
kind and helpful.

Regards,
Mike Gran

Oh, that is very sad news. Thank you for letting us know.

RIP TTN

TTN was a great Guile hacker, I've learned so much from his code. That's
all I know about him. However, after he passed away, I found other
communities' people mentioned him, then I realized that he was such a
comprehensive hacker.

RIP.

Best regards.

That very sad.

He wasn't that old, was he?

Thien-Thi has been around in the Guile community since the early days.

Best regards,
Mikael
