I've been hacking on SART (renderer that uses guile for scripting,
input format and shader language) for ages now. It's definitely using
Guile as the core of the application: there's plenty of guile code in
it, and the C code uses libguile for pretty much everyting... Pity
SART is not popular application by any means, but then, its
documentation is still UTSL, so it's my fault.

BTW, I found stack-conservative GC the killer feature that enables
this - basically, if it went, the C code just wouldn't be overhaulable
and I'd probably switch to something other than Guile (possibly
SCM). See also my post in the GC thread.
