a good place to keep up on guile developments is the
mailing list ·····@cygnus.com. it is not very high
volume (a few messages a day).
the interesting thing about guile is that it's intended
target is the same as tcl's.
if you decide to try out guile, you can get source at:
ftp://ftp.cyclic.com/pub/guile
keep in mind that guile's tk interface is still
somewhat primitive. soon it will be gaining an
interface to tk similar to the one in erik gallesio's
STk, (http://kaolin.unice.fr/STk.html), which is
a powerful and polished scheme implementation in
it's own right.
STk has the most elegant integration of tk i have
seen. making composite widgets is a snap; and it
fits into a real object model. interfaces are
specified as simply as in tcl.
