As you can see, the champion today is JavaScript. Please run: guile scheme@(guile-user)> ,L ecmascript Happy hacking with ECMAScript! To switch back, type `,L scheme'. Voila! Voila?? Hurray??? BTW, the tenth place is HTML's. If even it is more popular than any lisp there, I won't use it to program for geda-gaf. Would you do this? > Trying to save gEDA by tying it to scheme is like trying to save a > lifeboat by tying it to the Titanic. As you probably already saw, gEDA is not tied to scheme. Far worse, it's a huge C-Scheme mess nobody wants to clean up to make things: simpler, better, and more hackable. > > Scheme is there and I am not advocating it's removal. I am just saying > that Vladimir's plan to replace our already existing C with more > Scheme is probably not going to help use gain contributors. I don't want to replace all code. I have no resouces for it anyway. I want to clean up code and replace C-Scheme mess where it is appropriate with something more hackable and intelligible. I want to allow calling of already available C functions from Scheme scripts for our users. I want to make functionality available in some programs (such as gnetlist) to be available in other programs (say, gschem or gaf). If I ever will do something serious on the core, I'll try to inform (and ask) every people interested/involved. Cheers, Vladimir
