- Summary: The Pre-Scheme Restoration project, funded by NLnet, aims to revive an obscure, yet significant compiler for a low-level functional programming language. The language, Pre-Scheme, offers a unique combination of features, including a static type system, support for macros, and an optimizing compiler targeting C. The project's objective is to make Pre-Scheme a practical alternative to C for the wider Scheme community by porting the compiler to various R7RS-compatible Scheme implementations, improving tooling, revising the language, and investing in documentation.

- Summary: The Pre-Scheme Restoration project, funded by NLnet, aims to bring a historically important, low-level functional programming language to a wider audience. The project involves reviving an obscure compiler (Pre-Scheme) for a modern, statically-typed language, with a focus on system-level development. The project objectives include porting the Pre-Scheme compiler to various Scheme implementations, improving integration with development workflows, and extending the language and type system. Follow the project on the fediverse, subscribe to the Atom or RSS feed, or join the #guile-steel channel on IRC for updates.
The presentation is live now, and I am available for questions in the “Big Blue Button” chat room. Feel free to ask me questions here on ActivityPub.

The project is an implementation of #EmacsLisp written in portable #R7RS standard #Scheme programming language. The reference implementation is written in #GuileScheme
SSS 🐂 (The Supreme Sexp System) proudly announces version v3.1.11 of the project.

big shoutout to @abcdw who helped improve the dev experience and tests of the project, #hacking on it is now a delight (with #guile #arei #ares on #emacs ).
system is much more modular now, organized, user overrides are easy, and there is a #wip #gruvbox theme support (many more too), added rotating wallpapers

we're pleased to announce https://guixotic.coop, a new free software cooperative focused on gnu guix and guile cofounded by @podiki, maxim cournoyer and me. we offer services including training, commercial support, development, system administration (CI/CD, HPC), packaging -- in short, everything guix and guile.
our goal is to strengthen & expand the community, bringing in new people and organizations (our clients), supporting development work, and growing the network of organizations supporting these technologies.
could you or an organization you know of benefit from our services? email contact@guixotic.coop or contact us here!
