I had some musing about the daemon recently; I was thinking libguile could be added to our old C++ daemon, which could then replace its functions piece-wise with Scheme implemented ones? At the end, we'd have almost everything in Scheme, at which point we could rewrite the main loop to Scheme and say farewell to the old daemon. Would that approach makes any sense? I know of at least one C++ project integrating libguile, and that's the jami-daemon, so it could perhaps provide some clues as to how to proceed to do so. Thanks for the great initiative! -- Thanks, Maxim
