Does it mean someone is working on writing Racket specific dialect front-end on Guile? I appreciate!

Like I wrote, an immediate task is to write a Racket importer for Guix¹
and to actually package things.

Next, we could ensure the subset of these packages that use #r6rs can
also be used as Guile packages.  However Chris noted that there are few
of them; most use #lang racket.

Thus, the next idea is to have #lang racket in Guile, which is quite a
bit of work but probably doable.  And the converse: #lang guile in
Racket.

There are probably other things that could be done, or variants on this
theme.

Is that clearer?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
