If the talk starts to get into extension languages, please by
all means use GUILE. Ok Scheme sucks, but GUILE is not about
Scheme. It supports "pluggable-in" languages (currently supports
TCL and a language the GNU folks made up, called C-TAX meant to
look like C). Python is on the way but needing help. So GUILE
gives the _user_ (not developer) the choice of language.
