|
|
|
|
<p>Guile is an artifact of historical processes, both as code and as a
|
|
community of hackers. It is sometimes useful to know this history when
|
|
hacking the source code, to know about past decisions and future
|
|
directions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Of course, the real history of Guile is written by the hackers hacking
|
|
and not the writers writing, so we round up the section with a note on
|
|
current status and future directions.
