well, I might ditch guile - I have a couple of reasons to already. firstly
the api is a mess, halfway through a redesign and no end in sight, which
makes writing the bindings largly a matter of guesswork. secondly I have a
feeling it might not be the fastest interpreter out there. the fastest
fluxus scripts are always going to be the ones which are light on the
interpreter (retained instead of immediate mode stuff) but I think we
could get some good speed ups using something like this:
