Hi Maxime,

are you still interested in working on Guile bindings for the Hurd?

I'm still interested, but the conversion Common Lisp -> Scheme
was a lot more tedious and tricky than expected at first, so I
stopped actively working on it. The last commit was three weeks
ago.

I can imagine.

If so, do you have a public repository where we could collaborate?

<https://notabug.org/mdevos/guile-hurd> (branch: scheme-guile)

Excellent, thank you.

(1) gradually implement more of Common Lisp in "hurd-cl-compat.scm", such that more code ‘just compiles’ without source code tweaks

Are you compiling this on a Hurd system? Or do you build it on GNU+Linux first?

(2) when necessary or more convenient, convert the code to Scheme. For example, Scheme conditions do not support multiple inheritance,

    and :before and :after is not supported in GOOPS.

Re multiple inheritance: Scheme has compound conditions, which might be enough.

If you create an account at notabug.org, I could grant you commit access, or we could just use the pull request system. Commits should be signed. If you create an account, can you send me a PGP-signed

message with your user name to confirm you're not some imposter?

Thanks. I have just created an account: https://notabug.org/rekado

I probably won’t push directly, and probably won’t hack on it right away, but eventually I might submit some pull requests.

right?)

That’s correct.
