Hi

I worked hard for a few days playing with guile. 

Pre-release now at https://gitlab.com/swedebugia/guile-wikidata

Next step is to implement looking up the entities for the result and
filter on instance of (the properties). E.g. software. Or query wikidata
with SPARQL and guile-sparql.

:D

What do you think?
I tried reuse code and abstract away a la Guile. This is my first
program so feel free to give it a review and ideas for improvement.

It depends on (guix import json) right now to be able to fetch and
return an alist and I'm keen on removing this dependency before the
first release.

Happy hacking with wikidata!

Cheers

Hi

I worked hard for a few hours playing with guile and came up with this.

Next step is to implement looking up the entities for the result and
filter on instance of (the properties). E.g. software.

:D

What do you think?
I tried reuse code and abstract away in a a la Guile. This is my first
program so feel free to give it a review and ideas for improvement.

It depends on (guix import json) right now and I think we should
upstream those two json-to-alist functions to guile-json.
