I think that Bourne shell, C shell, AWK, or Makefile are good targets
to try.  Because they don't support module system or extension.

I don't think that Guile already has necessary infrastructure to
implement the translator for scripting languages, such as Python.
Perhaps, Guile (the scheme syntax) itself may not have enough features
of scripting.

Python has its own module system, we need to integrate it into Guile
to be really useful, but I believe it is not easy thing to do.
