Hey, MJ.
Guile is already the "official" Gnome extension language, isn't it?
Or am I misled? I don't use Gnome any more.
In theory, yes, I guess.
In practice, however, there are way too many Gnome applications that
should use a real extension language but use XML instead.
On the other hand, XML could be seen as any extension language (no
matter how ugly). In this case, the "official" Gnome extension language
you are misled: this place is occupied by Gnome's XML library.
LibXML is one of the few standard packages that make part of a Gnome
install. Guile is nowhere near, is it?
The only feature I can see XML has that makes it better that Scheme as
an extension language is its DTDs. Unfortunately, it is *much* more
used than Scheme in today's world. :(
Thanks.
Alejo.

Ps: Don't waste your time telling me how much XML sucks and calling me
names for comparing it with Scheme: I know! :/
