Because scheme doesn't force a user to recompile anything in order to
append any new functionality in this case. Moreover, any our program
(gschem, gaf, gnetlist, gsymcheck, gschlas, probably others) have a
guile built-in with all its possibilities (not all of them have
interactive mode, though).

Please don't bother, I was just a bit sarcastic.

To be honest, I've never read anything about it.

Never said this. The best language is Elvish (though some people state
it to be obsolete).

:) No, we're talking about future of the project.

Nothing related to your preferences. It's about who decides what should
be done in the project.
