Hi,
I just got the most beautiful feedback on Wisp as a Scheme primer, so I
would like to nag about inclusion of SRFI-119 into Guile again:
»I tend to use [Wisp] as a Scheme primer for colleagues that are used
to Python but want to explore the realms of functional programming
without … having to break with known syntax and conventions … it makes
Scheme way more “approachable” while not drifting too much apart.
Before using Wisp as an introduction, I got occasional feedback that
parens where seen as confusing/somewhat cluttery in terms of
readability; Wisp looks as clean, plain and readable as Python code;
which makes it relatively easy to awake interest for Scheme in folks
that are accustomed to Python already.« — Wilko

Inclusion in Guile would make it much easier for them to just try Wisp
on any of the supported platforms, so I think this is a strong indicator
that inclusion of Wisp would help spread Guile Scheme.
=> Is the squashed patch ok to merge?
Link to the patch in the archives:

Best wishes,
Arne
