%%name: guile

%%short-description: GNU extensibility lib.
 
%%full-description: An implementation of the Scheme programming
language built to be used as an extension language. It's a lib you
can link into your programs. Your program has full access to the
interpreter's data structure, so you can extend Guile with your own
primitives, datatypes, and syntax, and tailor the language to your
application. 

It also lets more people use your language: they needn't learn the
internals of your app; they just need to understand the language and
the primitives you've provided, and they can trade and share ideas by
passing around scripts without you.

It has arrays and lists; modules; objects, first class functions,
and garbage collection.
