Today I'm going to start building a new website from scratch using Guile Scheme!

The goal is to create a production website that could get a fair amount of traffic. This ongoing project should be a good example of real-world Scheme hacking!

@daviwil

Guile scheme.

Get a graduate web monkey.
Promise exposure.
Don't pay them anything.
🤡😁

@n_dimension What would be the point of that?

@daviwil

It's a funie

"Guile = Cunning"

"Work for exposure"
Is how the young get exploited.

@daviwil @n_dimension I'm actually pretty desperate for "experience"

@daviwil Oohhhh !! \o/
Why with Guile Scheme especially ? Are they nice features, performances or syntaxe things which make it more attractive than others ?

@ck0 I really like the Scheme language and Guile is one of the most practical Scheme implementations for this kind of work

@daviwil Bonus points if you manage to have WORKING UNICODE!!!! Why are all guile websites showing ? after ? Is it so hard to use UTF-8?? No they just decided to have a side effect in the web library that resets the encoding to LATIN-1 at every occasion 😭
