our nil story

Hi all, Just updated some docs on other languages and nil. It's in master, but I'm pasting here for comments. 0.1 Support for Other Languages === In addition to Scheme, a user may write a Guile program in an increasing number of other languages.

a plan for native compilation

Hi, I've been thinking some about native compilation, and how to do ahead-of-time and just-in-time compilation, and not totally explode Guile's mental footprint -- the number of cases and things that one has to keep in mind when debugging Guile code. Currently, Guile has a compiler to a custom

Re: our nil story

Hi Andy, sounds good! With regards to some elisp details (like dynamic binding or others), IIRC there's still some info about implementation details and other stuff that may be interesting in the module/languages/elisp/README file. You probably are aware of it anyway, though ;) Yours,

Hi Neil, I also think that wip-manual-2 is looking great! Your commit granularity is also really nice. On Mon 12 Apr 2010 02:15, Neil Jerram n...@ossau.uklinux.net writes: at a point in the not too distant future, the manual in wip-manual-2 will be ready for pulling back into master, and

tracing and traping?

Hi, I learned to like to trace functions when debugging and found out that guiles version needs work. so has anybody steped up to fix this? /Stefan

Re: a plan for native compilation

One option I am really starting to like is LLVM. I know what you're thinking, huge memory consumption, giant dependency, etc, but it's so cool! It supports every desktop architecture too.

Howdy! Andy Wingo wi...@pobox.com writes: So, my thought is to extend procedures with an additional pointer, a pointer to a native code structure. (So your point is what should we do now to allow for such experiments eventually, right?) Adding an extra work to programs seems like a good
