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!

@n_dimension What would be the point of that?
@n_dimension ahhh, now I get it :)
@daviwil Oooh. That sounds interresting.
@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
10 years ago I did a very rudimentary experiment on server-side scheme, just to see if I could.
