Interesting. I didn't look at the code, but I assume that it was started with
a C Zile release.

I think I'm missing your point though... as I can't see the connection between
Guile and Lua Zile. I'm pretty sure that the Guile as a target for 'compile
other languages to Guile scheme so they interoperate' turned out to be an
unimplementable misfiring. Is there a Guile binding for Lua? Do you envision
Lua Zile with a Guile binding to do the Lispy parts? I'm pretty sure you're
pointing me at something interesting, but I'm being too dumb to see it... maybe
you could apply the clue-stick? ;-)
Actually, I've been side-tracked several times, and haven't done any Zile work
for a month or two :(
1. Specl is basically complete now -- while there are more enhancements I'd
like to make, I'll let them soak through slowly as I work Specl into the other
projects I'm working on.
2. stdlib needs a bit more interface work, and then a release 34.
3. zlisp stalled on stdlib somewhere, but I don't remember where... I guess
I'll remember when I look at it again :)
4. Then I can integrate zlisp back into zmacs, at which point a small amount of
polish should enable a first Lua release.
5. And then I'll be able to get back to porting my previous Zi editor over the
new Lua Zile framework, where I will call it zz and grow my beard to celebrate
;)
6. I'll start badgering you to bring Zee back into the fold again.
I'm also quite intrigued by the possibility of completing zlc (the zlisp->lua
compiler that would fall out of my zmacs work quite naturally with a good
application of elbow-grease), which would mean the equivalent of .el -> .elc in
emacs for zmacs would be .zl -> lua-bytecodes. That seems like something that
might be as fast as .elc...
Anyway, back on point..., on reflection, I imagine a guile-y flavour of zlisp
would be an easy hack for an alternative zmacs. Zuile, anyone?
Cheers,
