Comment on Spritely Goblins v0.13.0: Object persistence and easier IO

Comments

I know that guile/scheme is uniquely well suited to this, but I'd be interested in hearing why you're using it instead of, say, writing a python library? Is it like a smalltalk thing with really good message-passing, are you getting some guarantees about serializability that are impossible in a more mainstream language? Do you just like it?

There's rather a lot of new syntax, and, more importantly, exploration and experimentation with new syntax involved. Python syntax is... not easy to extend. Let alone on an experimental basis.
