Hello,

Today is the first anniversary of GNU Guile 2.0 [0].  To celebrate it,
while some were doing serious work on Guile itself, several hackers took
on the challenge to come up in one week with a neat hack to showcase
Guile integration [1].

This challenge led to a few birthday hacks (and probably some that
didn’t meet the deadline):

  • Ian Price quickly came up with GDBM bindings, written with Guile’s
    dynamic foreign function interface (FFI):
    <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2012-02/msg00020.html>.

  • Nala Ginrut wrote BIG, for “Bash Inner Guile”, which extends Bash
    with the ability to evaluate Scheme expressions:
    <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2012-02/msg00026.html>.

  • Mike Gran polished his port of GNU Zile to Guile:
    <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2012-02/msg00033.html>.

    Shortly after, he released a new version, along with an
    implementation of Tetris in Scheme that uses GNU Guile-Ncurses:
    <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-user/2012-02/msg00041.html>.

  • Ludovic Courtès brought Guile-GCC, which allows GCC to be extended
    in Guile: <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2012-02/msg00323.html>.

Happy birthday Guile 2.0, and happy hacking!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
