| | Guile Scheme |
 | | Guile (http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/guile.html) is trying to become a universal extension language - one can (in theory) write parsers for other languages in it; that way, a program that uses Guile as its extension language can also be programmed in those other languages. |
 | | The problem with the original vision of Guile as the ultimate protean scripting language is that this problem has been solved, and arguably much better, by MicrosoftDotNet and the MonoProject. |
 | | I still use Guile often because the SchemeLanguage is, to me, much easier to work in for quick jobs than the alternatives (Perl, Python, Ruby, etc.) and because Guile is a "workhorse Scheme" with strong ties to the underlying Unix environment. |
