I think there is not anything typical in the Guile community.
I usually execute Guile scripts from the command line and I use the
REPL for exploratory work only. But I feel I should use the REPL more
than I do. I am reading all I can find about REPL practices to find
inspiration.

I follow the TDD workflow. So I run my test harness this way :
$ guile -L . tests/xxxx-test.scm
I fire this command anytime I change a file using a watch-based script.
I edit code using Emacs and its Geiser extension to explore Guile
features.

Automation. haha


P.S: would you like to join me to code together so I can show what I
wrote above ?
We could pair-program for 1h :-)

Cheers,
