25 Guile is an interpreter for the Scheme programming language.
26 It implements a superset of R4RS, providing the additional
27 features necessary for real-world use. It is extremely
28 simple to embed guile into a C program, calling C from
29 Scheme and Scheme from C. Guile's design makes it very
30 suitable for use as an

34 interpreter for scheme programs, for either interactive use
35 or executing scripts.

42 __(info guile-tut)__ available.
