<ArneBab>still unexpectedly broken: (equal? a b c) ⇒ wrong number of arguments.

<ArneBab>(apply = (list 3 3)) -- (apply equal? (list 3 3)) works.

<ArneBab>redefining with set! ⇒ (define birch-h/m 3)(set! birch-h/m 3.74) ⇒ error: value failed to match.

<ArneBab>(use-modules (srfi srfi-1)) ;; fails -- isn’t that pure scheme?

<ArneBab>Cannot map a record-type accessor over a list of records.

<dthompson>ArneBab: srfi-1 is pure scheme in the latest guile release. I have loaded it from the hoot repl many times while testing.

<ArneBab>dthompson: how did you load it?

<ArneBab>(use-modules (srfi srfi-1)) throws an error here: https://www.draketo.de/software/programming-scheme

<ArneBab>(in the REPL)

<dthompson>ah okay, well that would be because you probably don't have srfi-1 built into your binary

<dthompson>in a development setup, libraries not in the binary would be loaded from disk but that wouldn't be the case on your web page here

<ArneBab>How can I add it? (I just use hoot compile --bundle -fruntime-modules -o repl.wasm repl.scm )

<dthompson>ArneBab: Add (srfi srfi-1) to the imports somewhere in your program

<dthompson>when the runtime modules feature is enabled, no tree shaking is performed so all included modules get compiled in their entirety and are available for use with the interpreter

<ArneBab>dthompson: worked! Thank you!

<ArneBab>⇒ one step further towards full online REPL support of the book.

<ArneBab>maybe I should just add the curly-infix reader example from srfi-105 as preprocessor. That would get most examples working.
