AFAIK, Guile's threads are native.


But it has RMS/GNU/FSF cooties!

If you play Philip Glass' Einstein on the Beach while using it, it will not be happy!

(We were roommates when he launched the GNU project, and he did not like that title, it would wake him out of a sound sleep. Which, if you've listened to it, is perfectly understandable, it's very minimalist, an acquired taste he did not share :-).

Hmmm, so it does, and as suiting its niche, at a low level. See above WRT Gauche; from a skim of the manual, Guile's VM may be reentrant or it hides that level of detail.

Thanks for the tip!

Hmmm, now I'll have to narrow the statement to "The only native code compiling Scheme that I know of" (which is harder to do).


>now I'll have to narrow the statement to "The only native code compiling Scheme that I know of"

Native compilation is on the roadmap for Guile, so hopefully you'll have to narrow that statement further in a couple of years. :)


> it would wake him out of a sound sleep

In that state, I'm pretty sure most people prefer Cage.
