Scheme

This article isn’t about convincing you to choose Scheme over other languages. Instead, if you’ve already recognized the growing trend of functional programming and are curious about powerful, well-established functional languages, this piece will illuminate Scheme’s often-overlooked strengths in a production setting.

With the idea of promoting the usage of Guix and of my favourite programming language Guile Scheme, I created a small project which is still in early stages, but I think with some more love and effort can be quite something.

The Guile ShowHub! Promoting all Guile projects out there! By reading from foss Guix project source code we can tap into a plethora of information, and leverage the homoiconicity of Lisp to directly analyze the source code and extract info.

I got my Emacs setup fully functional and now I'm doing a little bit of hacking on my config files. (Because that's what you do on Christmas eve, when the children has fallen asleep.)

However, even though I use Geiser and fancy rainbow parentheses (plus extra Christmas bling), I run into these stupid invalid specifier errors. And the compiler output is neither pretty nor helpful. It basically gives me a large chunk of unformatted code and says there's an invalid specifier somewhere.

Questions:

Is it possible to make Guile do a pretty print on the error output?

Is it possible to make Guile error messages more precise about the problem?

He introduces but also criticizes the use of call/cc, 1. not being a function and looks like a function, 2. able to produce an union of types with it.

Is he correct? What do you think?

With Chez Scheme venturing into a compiler stack, Guile the GOTO helper, and OS infrastructure, Racket teaching, and Gambit continued awesomeness. What is left to Scheme to scheme?

You have one hour no more.
