By now, the refactored code is 100% compatible with existing Scheme code.
That is, you don't have to write a backend any differently than you did
before.

Scheme is not "our traditional foundation", it's something which has been
patched onto gEDA/gaf in an ugly way. It seems to work for some people
but it definitively doesn't make maintaining the code an easier task.

That is what I don't get: I already did this, and if you could be bothered
to look at the result, you had to agree that it is much easier both to
understand and to use with your own code (formerly nearly unthinkable)
than the old gnetlist code.
It took me a lot of time and effort to bring it into a well-readable form
while keeping it perfectly functionally equivalent. I don't have the
impression that Vladimir is even trying to achieve this with his current
approach.
