A few weeks ago, I asked if there was some way around the problem of Guile forcing programs to live inside of it. From the responses I got, it seems that the answer is "no", with plenty of people bemoaning this fact. I would like to point out, however, that there is a "competitor" to Guile that has been around for over 10 years and solves this problem: ELK (the extension language toolkit). Like Guile, it is Scheme. Here's a URL: http://www-rn.informatik.uni-bremen.de/software/elk/elk.html You probably already know about ELK, and you're all busily composing flames to me about why it is so inferior to Guile. I don't care about that. All I suggest is that you look at it and see if you can learn how they managed to make it "reentrant". I look forward to the time when Guile has this feature. Thanks for your help. -Steven Rubin
