Please look at the FOSDEM-2016 Guile presentations before stating
such odd things.

1) Your statement about language `craziness' is not constructive.

2) You seem to have not gotten my reasons for choosing Scheme
after many repetitions. I've chosen it chiefly because it has
already been the core language of the geda-gaf project.

1) Your statement about `no excuse' is not constructive.

2) That you prefer another language is not the reason to remove
the language you don't like.

1) Your statement about `dead horse' is emotional and not constructive.

2) I don't blame anybody if they prefer their `favorite
languages'. I just see you want *me* to do anything *your* way, as
well as some other users on this list. That is you who stated
something like `I want to establish xorn as the base in gEDA'. You
haven't asked other geda-gaf developers if they agree with your
plan.

3) If you want to remove Guile, it would be more honest to create
your own `official' fork, like Igor2 has done, and do what you
want there rather than earn popularity while other developers make
hard work on the C and Scheme side. Then, some time, when your
fork gets better than the mainline codebase, it could get the
`official gEDA'.
