Hey Guilers!
On behalf of the Spritely Institute, I'm happy to announce that Guile
Hoot 0.5.0 has been released! Hoot is a Scheme to WebAssembly
compiler backend for Guile, which means you can now run Scheme in the
browser for real, tail calls and all.
The highlights of this release are:
* Scheme interpreter (sans macros, for now)
* Lightweight concurrency based on the fibers API
* Improved Guile compatibility
* Uncaught exceptions now print backtraces (finally)
As usual, there are also many smaller improvements and bug fixes.
Read the full release notes here:

If you use Guix then it's easy to try out Hoot:
guix pull
guix shell guile-next guile-hoot
Happy hooting! 🦉
- Dave
P.S. Tomorrow, 9/7, in about 12 hours as of writing, Andy Wingo is
giving the opening keynote at the Scheme workshop colocated with the
ICFP conference. He'll be talking all about compiling Scheme to
WebAssembly. See https://icfp24.sigplan.org/home/scheme-2024 for more
info.
