Hello everyone, I would be deeply grateful if someone could give me some hints about my questions.

Any tentative dates for when it would be > supported and how good it would be? This is important since in the gaming > area Lua is the standard scripting language. > 4.- When writing a FFI from C++ functions, I know how guile code will > look, but I couldn't find any Ecmascript mapping documentation.
