Now it only needs to be another 40 times faster to be usable

guile 2.2 was 3-10x faster than python

python eternally btfo

>not using chicken
Bentley Walker
This is not Chez Scheme, though.
Isaiah Cook
chicken is compiled
guile is JIT and its as fast
Nicholas Hall
if guile is 12-40x faster than python I might as well check it out, I already use emacs. any recommendations for reading material?
Jack Lee
use it with guix package manager (so, read their manual)
right now the most useful application
Alexander James
Year of Guile Emacs when?
Adam Richardson
i bet they will try again when guile 3 comes out
Caleb Long
Hopefully never.
An Emacs in Common Lisp would be unimaginably better. Also, Elisp is already closer to that rather than Scheme.
Jackson Martinez
why do you argue commonlisp is better than scheme?
Henry Turner
this gives me reason to stop using elisp for everything. booting up half of emacs just to run a script is starting to get slow when calling one script from another. you're okay, OP.
Brayden Gomez
Because all the "bloat" people claim it has is actually useful and you reimplement half of it in any reasonably sized Scheme program anyway.
Plus, Lisp-2 > Lisp-1. Better organization, clearer code, and less name clashes.
It's also already more similar to Elisp (which, in fact, was influential in the design of Common Lisp) so the transition would be easier.
Don't get me wrong, I like Scheme. But for a real application which goes beyond a couple hundred lines (which Emacs clearly is) I see zero reason not to take advantage of a richer, even more powerful language.
Henry Davis
Are you unironically using Emacs Lisp for anything outside of Emacs?
Hudson Nguyen
no, i'm unironically using emacs lisp for _everything_ outside of emacs. elisp is pretty great.
Luke Young
Ever thought about learning a "standalone" Lisp?
Jackson Powell
lisp 2 cant have multiprocessing

Just when you think this board can't get any dumber you come along.
Kevin Martinez
i think about a lot of things i never do. it's probably for the best that way.
