I really hope that that's not Guile's primary goal these days (and my
understanding is that it is not): i wouldn't be much interested if those
were its goals ("orchestrator of business oriented code" sounds
particularly dreadful :-)).

Goals aside, Guile 2.x looks to me as a perfectly fine platform to
implement a wide range of applications, and, IMHO, it should be promoted
and developed as such.

But IANAGD :-D
