Take a look at https://www.openhub.net/p/guile/contributors/summary

Are you saying this is inaccurate? Andy is far and away the top contributor, it's not even close. It really does seem to be a one man show.

It's almost acccurate, off by not much. There is a few contributions that don't appear here like guile-nash and guile-log which are respectively tracing JIT compiler and prolog in scheme runtime.

Go away, troll.

What? It's a serious question. It'd be great if a flagship GNU project was a serious competitor with other programming languages, but it honestly looks like Guile is being kept afloat by one or two people. Why is mentioning this trolling?

Sorry, but it seemed like you were trolling. Guile is not a one man show. I have been active in the Guile community for 5 years now, so I know. I will admit that the bus factor in the compiler portion of the code is high, driven almost exclusively by Andy, but he has done a significant amount of writing about how the compiler works and even listed several other improvements that can be done in an effort to get more people involved. I have no experience with compiler hacking and yet I was able to implement an optimization and get it into the 2.2 release. The commit history alone isn't enough to understand the group of people that push Guile forward.

Shame you're being downvoted. Your work inspired me to learn to program with guile and SICK a few years ago. Thanks for everything

By "shame you're being downvoted", do you mean you agree that I'm trolling? Care to explain why? davexunit's contributions have nothing to do with this.
