There are better schemes out there than guile. Mzscheme comes to
mind. And in any case, it will never be a useful language as long as
their motto is "there is more than one way to do it" - the key
difference from perl is that they are talking about implementing the
basic language - there are 10's of scheme interpreters out there, and
very few *libraries of useful code*.
BTW, I vote for Tcl or elastiC:-)
