hi gurus,
I've just started to tinker with guile, in a hope that
eventually instead of writing shell scripts, i'll be writing
guile scripts.
though there is lot of info on web, i'm actually confused.
can you please help.
What exactly i should be needing. do i need slib, or is
it with guile , or is it not at all needed ?.
what are the guile functions for, say opendir etc . are they
'builtin' or seperate modules ?.
which is library for x11 ( i saw some lib for scm), ncurses ?
is there any relation between scm, rscheme, elk, guile. do
libraries like slib work on all.( because i saw mention of
guile in some rscheme library ).
last but not the least, is guile good vehicle to learn scheme ( i'm
conservant with lisp ).
Lastly, what are the main point of difference in scheme and lisp.
Thanx a lot
