Re: [PATCH] add SRFI-119 / language/wisp to Guile? (new patch, squashed)

[Dr. Arne Babenhauserheide]

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?
