Hello all, I recently saw that Andy Wingo (the primary maintainer of Guile) gave a talk about the upcoming release of Guile 3 (projected for “Spring 2019”).
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/news/ https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/guile3fasterprograms/ Currently version 2.9.1 is serving as the beta release for version 3. For me, this announcement has raised a couple of questions: 1. What is the state of Guile 2 support right now? I know that there is a configuration command that enables experimental support, but what are the current limitations preventing the adoption of Guile 2 as the default version of Guile? 2. I understand that part of the issue with Guile 2 was a slowdown in performance due to the way in which LilyPond uses Guile; if substantiated, would the alleged doubling in speed compared to 2.2 place Guile 3 as a better candidate for the version of Guile to replace 1.8? More generally, if someone was interested in working on Guile support, where would be the best place to start? Also, is there anyone who has been heading the work on moving to a newer version of Guile? Best wishes, Jahrme _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
