However scheme isn't really a good extension language for most people. Guile just doesn't appear to be very popular. I personally think Emacs Lisp succeeded amazingly when extensible editors were rather unknown. These days most people prefer a conventional imperative programming language; just compare active extension developers for (say) Eclipse to Emacs. I think this is a pity because Emacs pretty much used to my OS, but unfortunately that's the reality. These days if I had to choose an extension language, I'd probably choose python or Lua. However, changing the extension language midship is not a good idea for Gnucash. Post G2, perhaps Gnucash core should gradually become 100% C with a well defined API for writing extensions in a language of your choice (take a look at Gnumeric for example).
