I am participating in GUILE since it is a foundation of LilyPond. As
far as I am concerned, it should be fast, bug-free, standards-compliant
and should not have any code that is so complex that it will bitrot when
its developer takes off.
That is why I am bothered by the half-working elisp support: my
impression is that is not really used, so once Neil stops doing his
job, GUILE will be left with a bunch of weird code that noone knows
how to deal with.
All this also makes me wonder why there are no Gnucash developers
here, since I recall they actually do use GUILE for a lot of stuff.
