"This document is an introduction into using Guile, the GNU extension language and system. Guile is a dialect of the Scheme programming language, and I will assume you're at least confident about the very basics of Scheme or LISP in general.

"...guile-dbi provides a simple, generic, easy-to-use scheme/guile interface to SQL databases, such as Postgres or MySQL ..."

"We are pleased to announce GNU Guile release 1.8.4. This is the next maintenance release for the 1.8 stable series [...] Guile is an interpreter for the Scheme programming language ..."

Guile is an implementation of the Scheme programming language, with support for many SRFIs, packaged for use in a wide variety of environments. The new release provides many new noteworthy features, most notably the addition of a compiler and virtual machine. We encourage you to test them and provide feedback.

«I'd like to share with you all here some writing that I did last month for Guile's manual. It runs through the 15-year history of Guile Scheme, re-visions a commonly misunderstood episode, and gosh darnit I just really like "the emacs thesis"...
