Currently the language confuse me. I wrote a lot of helper scripts during
my Cadence days. SKILL is also a kind of LISP, but it strikes me how
different the notation is. Where SKILL hardly used any other magic
characters but ', guile seems to use *,? and ! in ways I am not able to
grok by just looking at the code.
I would be happy if the scripts were elaborated a bit more regarding 'how
to think when programming guile in geda' for people who has programmed
before, but not in guile.
I just got started with John's example for back-end programming in
gnetlist, and I really think that gnet-devel.scm should be a part of the
distribution. Playing around on the REPL command line reminds me of the CIW
window in Cadence. Does the same exist for gschem too?
