<OrangeShark>hello everyone
***bairui_ is now known as bairui
<amz3>héllo #guile
<norfumpit>could guile in the future replace gnome js implementation, allowing one to say write gnome shell extensions in guile through an interoperability layer? if so what would it take to get there?
<amz3>a lot?
<amz3>javascript was chosen because it's everywhere
<amz3>i guess
<amz3>not because it's good langage
<amz3>that said, we guile js backend it might be possible to write extension in guile but will require a bit of tooling to be workable
<amz3>s/we/with/
<amz3>norfumpit: what JS VM does GNOME use?
<amz3>GNOME use Mozilla's SpiderMonkey https://wiki.gnome.org/JavaScript
<amz3>which means that AFAIU, it will take some time before guile js is usable in GNOME because it seems TCO is more difficult to implement in SpiderMonkey
<amz3>but I might be wrong
