It's funny you should talk about layering. I've recently started
writing a project at work (or re-writing for the Nth time thanks
to changes being requested), and I chose doing the high level
work in guile just so I could say "ok done," and get back to more
important things.
The funny thing is, thanks to guile's seamless use of arbitrarily
big numbers (its numerical tower), I don't know if I *want* to do
my number crunching in C anymore. This project is slowly becoming
100% scheme as I remove the final bits of C from it.
I have not noticed any significant penalty in performance.
