<dthompson>Guile Hoot 0.1.0 has been released! https://spritely.institute/news/guile-hoot-v010-released.html

<jackhill>🎉 congratulations!

<dthompson>jackhill: thanks :)

<ekaitz>dthompson: so... i should use it for the jam?

<cwebber>ekaitz: you definitely can... though it might be more challenging than we might like before the FFI inclusion :)

<cwebber>but I wouldn't mind seeing what you could come up with using Hoot ;)

<ekaitz>hehe

<ekaitz>i don't know if i'm ready :)

<ekaitz>but i may try

<dthompson>ekaitz: you could scrape by using it for the jam. my recommendation: scheme does all game logic, javascript does the rendering. for a game without a ton of objects in it, should work okay.

<dthompson>as cwebber noted there's no ffi yet. once we have that it will be possible to do a lot more.

<ekaitz>it might be ok with js for the rendering

<ekaitz>I think I can do that

<dthompson>calling scheme from js will be a lot cheaper than calling js from scheme.

<ekaitz>good, when will the jam start?

<dthompson>ekaitz: the 20th.
