  1. …reason for Guile Emacs, but there is in fact a library Emacs could quite desperately use: fibers (< https://github.com/wingo/fibers >). The Emacs concurrency story is about as bad as you could expect from a 40+ year old application.

  2. Fibers is probably used more in the Guile community these days https://github.com/wingo/fibers

  3. More like goroutines. They remind me of Guile's fibers: https://github.com/wingo/fibers

  4. Do you mean like fibers ( https://github.com/wingo/fibers ), or something beyond that?

  6. …the last 30 years. Guile scheme has a parallel version of it that is implemented as a library: https://github.com/wingo/fibers/wiki/Manual Comparing concurrent systems is hard. I would suggest implementing selecting with negative…

  8. Andy Wingo uses delimited continuations to implement guile fibers https://github.com/wingo/fibers/wiki/Manual It is a low level construct that can be used to build higher abstractions and things like coroutines. In a language like scheme…

  9. Andy Wingo's fibers for guile scheme is similar: https://github.com/wingo/fibers/wiki/Manual Really neat, and the implementation is really a testament to the power of delimited continuations.

  10. …in the guile-user mailing list this week and looks pretty cool. The manual for the project is here: https://github.com/wingo/fibers/wiki/Manual

  11. This version of Guile makes possible better asynchronous code via https://github.com/wingo/fibers/wiki/Manual (which is the implementation of something similar to Python's async/await)
