[...] Thanks for the reply ... and if I pose the same question for the new VM-based guile? Does the answer change? (I don't need code at this time; rather, this is a theoretical question). === FWIW, My app is getting GC-messier by the day. Someone recently added support for lua scripting via luabind; I assume luabind has a GC and it hopefully doesn't interfere with libguile. Next, there's talk of adding python support this summer, which implies a potential 3-way GC showdown. (slowdown?) --linas
