Hi Guile Users! I recently looked at some online course about Elixir and saw an elegant use of pipes (the operator `|>` in Elixir). Then I remembered, that in Racket there are so called threading macros, which seem to accomplish the same:
https://github.com/lexi-lambda/threading/blob/master/threading-lib/threading/main.rkt I also searched around for tutorials or explanations on how to write these macros. Sometimes I found excellent documenation in the Chicken Scheme wiki, so I checked there: https://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/5/pipes However, I would like to use a threading macro or pipes in Guile. I am seeing these options: (1) I could start trying to translate the Racket version to Guile, maybe it would work easily, maybe it uses Racket specific macro stuff, I don't know. However, I am not sure I would learn how the macros actually work. Maybe I would. (2) I could start from zero and try to implement the pipes I saw in the online course about Elixir. (3) Maybe something already exists in Guile, that I am unaware of and could not find through searching. Maybe there are even more names for pipes. So my questions are: (1) Does something already exist? (2) Would translating the Racket version be an easy thing to do, or is there something in there, that cannot so easily be achieved with syntax-parse, syntax-case and the likes? (For someone who rarely touches macros and does not have a lot experience writing them.) Regards, Zelphir
