Between two Lisps

Re:Between two Lisps by banjomet on Saturday December 05, 2020 @09:03PM (#25320345)

I was expecting Clojure vs Common Lisp. I love scheme but it's not fair to include considering how few libraries there are (I don't even know if there is a package manager).

Maybe typing "scheme package manager" on google and clicking the very first link would help?

I remember reading about Raven when it came out for Cisco Scheme. I totally forgot about chicken scheme. I just remember being interested in Guile and sad that only guildhall was available.

Racket has tons of packages and I believe it has everything he talked about (keyword arguments, etc.).

I also managed to completely forget about Racket. I was thinking only of Guile like an idiot.

The article mentions GNU Guix as "the" package manager for Guile Scheme.

Now, Guix includes some 15000 non-Scheme packages, so it is somewhat "overkill". OTOH you can also install/run/dockerize a world of Common Lisp packages with Guix. :-)

Guix is a package manager written in scheme, but as the article states they are considering how to use it for guile if they do.

The article mentioned at least two scheme package managers: chicken-install and GNU Guix.
