It makes sense to investigate, yes. However the issue is more one of getting getting the right abstractions in Guile, and it's not clear that Lightning provides them. Lightning is for JIT compilation, and we want to do AOT first. I think it makes sense to get native code for one architecture, see how that interacts with our needs for debugging, then start to think if an existing project's code generation abstractions suit our needs.
