I have done some preliminary looking around the net related to Scheme interpreters. The use of Guile was proposed in messages I saw dated 1998. Back then it was felt the start up time for Guile was a little too long. I would hope that issue has been resolved in the intervening years. I have also seen references to guile-gtk as an extension for Guile, and a reference to a GIMP plug-in called 'gimple'. I haven't found copies of either of these two projects on the 'net yet. So far, I have grabbed copies of libscheme and the latest version of SIOD (v3.2) to take a look at them. A first step might be to replace the existing SIOD stuff with the 3.2 version but even that version of SIOD is very old and libscheme is even older. Based on comments in messages from years ago and recent comments, I will take a closer look at Guile. Developing a separate replacement for Script-Fu is the way to go. IIRC, this is how Script-Fu came about. Other items such as Xscanimage are able to be dropped in to GIMP at any time so the new interpreter could be done the same way. -- Cheers! Kevin.
