Re: Guile Steel: a proposal for a systems lisp

Bigloo is cool.  I think it falls under the same category of Chicken,
which I address towards the end of:

  https://dustycloud.org/blog/guile-steel-smelting-pot/

"Chicken Scheme compiles to C but doesn't strike me as qualifying for
this post's vague definition because it still has the usual
memory/dynamic typing overheads of Scheme. But go ahead and read
literally everything on more-magic.net anyway because that stuff is
great."

Same feels like it could be said of Bigloo, but if I'm wrong, lmk :)
