multiple languages compile down
to Scheme, and then run from guile.
That was never a goal. Mulitple syntaxes and specialized
sublanguages were a goal. Elisp is special.
these are fundamentally the same goals.
My apologies. I understood you to mean that specific, existing
languages, such as Tcl and Perl, compile down to Scheme.
The possibility of translators for those specific languages has been
talked about on occasion, but isn't what was intended by the
"multi-lingualism" of Guile.
the current TODO sez:
>- write translators for additional languages
> - Perl
> - Python
> - TCL
> - Emacs Lisp
> - Rexx
"That should be fixed," he replied with a coldly calculated ambiguity.
so really, now all we have to do is unearth the original plans
and match them up against deconstructed implementations, folding
in newer plans in the process, avoiding meddling teenagers. no
sweat.
You understand my position well.
