Re: How to make GNU Guile more successful

[Nala Ginrut <nalaginrut@gmail.com>]

I think we have to elaborate the question clearer.

1. How to make guile-scheme more successful?
I think this is similar to ask "how to make scheme more successful".
This is the big question to the whole scheme community.

2. How to make guile platform more successful?
I this case, let me ask a question, if we have guile-python3
(compatible with most of Python3 features), and provide more
convenient FFI helper function to help bind more libraries in short
time, is it possible to attract more people from Python land? Given
we'll have good JIT compiler in the future.
