I tend to agree that this is generally a very friendly community. Obviously this thread has been quite heated, but I think we're handling it remarkably well, considering. > I'm mostly fond of the Contributor Covenant that was adopted by Guix I suggest that we postpone discussion of this proposal for now. It might create more divisions between us, at a time when we should be focused on healing our wounds and coming together as a community. I'd be glad to discuss it later. Thanks, Mark

Some words or proposals may be still meaningful, but maybe delay them after we healed our wounds by these misunderstandings. Thank you all! Best regards. > Thanks, > Mark > >

I really appreciate your help. Andy found me on IRC and also helped me with two similar suggestions. It's great that you both have helped take away my worries here. Even better, these solutions got me thinking about how Mes implements macros and Guile compatibility. Our next big target for Mes should be to remove define-macro support from eval_apply and load Guile's psyntax-pp.scm. Probably best to start playing with Guile stable-2.0 and first reduce psyntax.scm to the bare minimum, regenerate psyntax-pp.scm and get a easier success and work from that.
