Hey Guilers! On behalf of the Spritely Institute, I'm happy to announce that Guile Hoot v0.3.0 has been released! Hoot is a Scheme to WebAssembly compiler backend for Guile, which means you can now run Scheme in the browser for real, tail calls and all.
The highlights of this release are: * Partially implemented module system. Standard R7RS modules are now available for import along with some Hoot specific ones. User-defined modules not yet supported. * More R7RS-small support. * Toolchain can now emit debug names in Wasm binaries. * New R6RS-inspired hashtable interface. Both regular and weak key flavors. Limited to 'eq' tables only, for now. * (hoot reflect) now automatically loads reflect.wasm, a convenience that fixes the most common new user stumbling block.
