Sure. My take on this is that we want FRP, as implemented in Sly, or a
synchronous reactive API like HIPHOP¹. I wouldn’t want Guile to invite
users to use a JavaScriptish asynchronous framework with callbacks and
IoC all over the place.
Then of course that’s a bit of work, including work to integrate that
with ports.
