No.

I think systas is pretty much a dead end -- but there's a bunch of
useful bits and pieces in there.  A frustrating aspect of systas has
been that, just when I think I've finally killed it, I have some
practical problem to solve for which it is the best available
solution.

A nice property of Guile is that there is _enough_ code using it to
make it attractive to an audience larger than its developers, yet not
_so much_ code that the design or language is carved in stone.

Another nice property is that it has the GNU label, which, in the long
run, I hope stands for technical excellence.

p.s.: tb -- i've been wondering for a few years now:  a lot of my
scheme plans derive from stuff that was "in the air" around the 4th
floor and MIT generally a while back.   Do you argue with me so
consistently because you feel I've ripped you off somehow?  I thought
we were all egoless on this bus.
