 | | Guile is an interpreter for the Scheme programming language, packaged for use in a wide variety of environments. |
 | | Guile goes beyond the rather austere language presented in R5RS, extending it with a module system, full access to POSIX system calls, networking support, multiple threads, dynamic linking, a foreign function call interface, powerful string processing, and many other features needed for programming in the real world. |
 | | This means that users can program applications which use Guile in the language of their choice, rather than having the tastes of the application's author imposed on them. |
