Re: Python-on-guile

Hurra!

I noticed a couple.of weeks ago that declarative modules made it possible for 
me to stop using define-syntax-rule to force stupid inlining of code. The cross 
module inlining branch will make that even nicer. I can write cleaner code and 
get better error messages :)

Guile has been going in a very nice direction for some time!
