Hi,
I am new to this list and perhaps am asking a FAQ. I appologize,
in advance, if so. I browsed through several months of archived
messages but didn't see anything relevant.
I am beginning a program which will be a spreadsheet type program
and I hope to use Guile as the formula/macro language (i.e. where
the value of each cell would be a guile(lisp) expression).
The original idea (brain fart) was to use lisp as a "formula language"
in a spreadsheet. I was working with MS Excell and thought "wow, what
if instead of these stupid formula's, I could just use a lisp
expression?" Then, of course, I began imagining what would be
possible. Anyway, while considering if I wanted to implement my own
lisp interpreter (again), I remembered that Guile was a Scheme
interpreter and intended to be embedded; this would be perfect!
So anyway, here I am. I have downloaded and compiled Guile, but didn't
find much in the way of docs or examples. What I am hoping for is some
simple example code that demonstrates embedding and utilizing Guile.
Does anyone have any pointers?
Thanks,
Derry Bryson
