Guile is an acronym for Gnu's Ubiquitous Interactive Language for Extension and it was originally designed to assist computer programmers in the creation and development of flexible computer applications. Although it is a programming language in its own right, it is used as an interpreter for the Scheme programming language and it has support for lots of Scheme Requests For Implementation (SRFIs). The main benefits of Guile being an extension language is that it allows you to add specific features, updates and other elements to an existing program without having to rewrite the program to incorporate the new features. |
