Disappointingly, they're still booting Linux — this is not a standalone Guile running on bare metal (even emulated), but rather Guile running on top of the Linux kernel, loaded from an initrd.

It's not that disappointing. Guile as a kernel would be interesting as well, but this is still useful.

Not sure if kidding or not, but it's still an interesting step. Maybe someone will be inspired to write a scheme os after that.

Thank you very much, despite all my digging I don't think I've ever even heard of this.
