I've been playing in own sandbox for a while. I've lost touch with what guile-core and guile-www provide. But, I agree that some of those POSIX-style APIs are klunky. (I hesitated at announcing the project because I felt bad about not instead focusing my effort on using (web ...) and guile-www. But it did come out rather nice, I think.) > I don't think this is a good idea, for the same reason i don't think > (web ...) > modules are a good idea; it centralizes non-language implementation stuff into > the language implementation. I weakly agree with this statement. But I think that if a language doesn't have a LAMP-like stack, it is missing an opportunity to be useful. So I somewhat agree web stuff doesn't need to be *in* the language but it certainly needs to be *nearby* the language (whatever that means). OTOH, pure scheme scripts don't take up a lot of space. > Moreover, Guile is LGPL while the stuff outside is GPL, which is a stronger > protection for the user.
