(I hope this is the right address for this type of question. All I know about Guile is what I've seen in the GNU's Bulletin.) I have a server that accepts certain requests by email, and one such request requires a sufficiently rich format that it needs a sublanguage, so that the client can submit a short function and the server will evaluate it. But since access to the server is unrestricted, the server has to be able to evaluate the function in a closed environment; in particular, with no access to system calls. Does it make sense to use Guile for this? (If not, then I'll probably end up writing my own simple extension language, probably based on Lisp.)
