How do you pronounce Guile? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.60.11.159 ( talk • contribs) .

I remember hearing somewhere that the implementation of Scheme used by Guile was a rather non-standard Scheme as Scheme implementations go. Is this true? -- Maru (talk) Contribs 06:10, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
The info box says Guile is a mix of LGPL and GPL. Other sources say it's a mix of GPL and GPL with a linking exception. Can someone give a link to clarify which is currently true? Maybe a mailing list archive or a file from an online copy of the source code would say thing? Gronky 09:49, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
There is a terminology conflict in the beginning section. Guile is described an an object library, by which it was meant (AFAICT) a standard static library, (an ar archive of object files). However, the link is a link to Object Libraries, which are libraries for OOP, containing the information that would normally be found in header files as part of the library format. This should probably just be fixed by removing object from the sentance, and moving the footnote to after the word library. Tacvek ( talk) 00:15, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
The name "Guile" stands for "GNU's Ubiquitous Intelligent Language For Extension". note: this was taken from an Interview with GNU Guile Maintainer Marius Vollmer —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.139.221.201 ( talk) 00:27, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Is guile related to gnome? TeXmacs manual suggests that "the Guile Scheme dialect [is] from the Gnome project". -- 93.106.71.142 ( talk) 12:03, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
This might be of no importance, but if anyone's researching the "TCL wars", and you find emails with Richard Stallman's name in the "From: " field but the closing sig of Tom Lord, the reason seems to be that:

This is confirmed in the history section of the guile documentation. Guile was already under development as a way to externalize the functionality of Emacs Lisp to the rest of the GNU toolset. It was argued to Richard Stallman that Scheme was more powerful and flexible than Emacs Lisp and it should be possible to get Guile to interpret Emacs Lisp as well as standard Scheme. Richard agreed that this was worth pursuing, but did not announce the project publicly until the Tcl Wars. This led to the misconception that Guile was developed as an answer to the Tcl Wars. Stallman argued that Scheme was better suited for application integration and extension because he had already seen it in action. — Preceding

The article mentions translations of Guile, or of other scripting languages into Guile, for example
but cites no references.
Also, Stallman's original post in the Tcl Wars mentioned two scripting language projects: "One will be Lisp-like, and one will have a more traditional algebraic syntax." Did this project ever materialize? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trashbird1240 ( talk • contribs) 21:59, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
