"Knit, Chisel, Hack: Building Programs in Guile Scheme" by Andy Wingo

[@MutoShack]

IMO Guile is a beautiful language! And Andy Wingo does an excellent job at describing it!

[@bitwize]

Guile goes with everything.

But Guile generates fianlly C files, right?

[@remibirot-delrue1929]

@@पापानटोले Nope, it doesn’t compile to C. It compiles to some bytecode that’s interpreted by a small virtual machine. However, there’s a JIT that compiles hot-spots to machine code (like the JVM does), but it is not intended for compiling native excutables (as I understand it).

Now I hear the Guile theme again in my head - thank you!
