Subject description: guile		  
I've been doing a little reading up on different Scheme implementations. Some of the popular ones (eg Clojure) actually run in a Java VM. Personally, I find that slows down the whole thing (I divide my time between a reasonably fast desktop, a Raspberry Pi and a very old laptop!).

GNU Guile, on the other hand, seems to be written in C. I am putting together a .pet for this as we speak. It takes quite a long time to compile and needs libffi and libunistring.

This is a really good book on Scheme which you can read free online:
The Scheme Programming Language

I've been learning a little bit of Scheme, and here's a screen-shot of a program that make you a list of random numbers.
I like how in Scheme you don't use "for" or "while" - looping is usually done by recursion.

Thanks disciple! I went and had a look at siag, and read about SIOD. I will have to try that!

Hi, my latest area of interest is Scala. I was at Manchester University and spoke to one of the lecturers about Scheme. He mentioned Scala. It looks really good. It's fully interoperable with Java, but has lots of the features of functional programming languages.

Possibly the next big thing? Twitter was written mostly in Scala, I believe.
