Re: Running Compiled Guile Objects

[Nala Ginrut <nalaginrut@gmail.com>]

If you just want to run the .go file, this is not a good way to go, since
it's binary format inside ELF can be changed in different Guile version.
And Guile compiler will handle these issues for you. So best practice is to
always run from a script and let Guile do the rest for you.

But if you really want to load .go without source code for some reasons,
you may do it in the REPL:
(load-compiled "example.scm.go")

Best regards.
