It seems to me that embeddability/extensibility is more fundamental to
Guile.
Also, while implementing new languages as Guile translators might be
ok, I don't think it's a good idea to reimplement existing languages.
There would inevitably be incompatibilities with the original
implementation, which just complicates the problem of writing portable
code in that language. (See sh.) Sometimes it's even a challenge
just to make code portable to different versions of the same
implementation.
