Hello everyone,

I would be deeply grateful if someone could give me some hints about my
questions.

Regards

> Congratulations for the GUILE project. I am finding it really interesting.

> 1.- How mature is Ecmascript support? I don't care much about feature
> completeness, but more about robustness (reasonably bug-free) and ready to
> be used by designers.
> 2.- Is there any real project using Ecmascript guile at the moment?
> 3.- What is the lua status? Any tentative dates for when it would be
> supported and how good it would be? This is important since in the gaming
> area Lua is the standard scripting language.
> 4.-  When writing a FFI from C++ functions, I know how guile code will
> look, but I couldn't find any Ecmascript mapping documentation. Any
> pointers where I could find something?
> 5.- (Not too important as of now) There is support for a windows native
> guile? If there is not, can be compiled at least with MinGW (not cygwin)?
> 6.- Is there any incompatibility in using guile in a closed-source
> project, regarding to the license?
>
> This said, if I adopted guile, I am planning to do it for more than one
> project.
> My first plans would include to write a nicer C++ FFI on top of the
> standard one, similar to boost.python or the like, since this is my main
> use case.
> This library would be released as open-source. I wish I could use guile
> right away, but will need to wait for an informed reply.
