No, Gnome apps(Documents, Music, and rest of crap) are not following siplistic philosophy, they are followitg easinest. There is huge difference between easy and simple.

Gnome alternative for KISS - KIED (keep it easy dumbass)

Thanks for answer, I want to make a simple game in scheme, so I am considering chibi, maybe I need to try somehow to add opengl binding. I know there is other implementations but I want to try chibi (r7rs) :)
Re:Chibi-Scheme on Monday October 08, 2012 @06:53AM (#4626276)
Can Chibi(R7RS) be used in real world applications ?, and I am curious do you know when can we expect R7RS large spec to be finish.
Re:Chibi-Scheme on Sunday October 07, 2012 @09:50AM (#4623310)
Don't know am I too optimistic, but I think that R7RS large will be great success. I hope rest of the community share same enthusiasm. (young lisper)

Chibi-Scheme

http://code.google.com/p/chibi-scheme/

Chibi-Scheme is a very small library intended for use as an extension and scripting language in C programs. In addition to support for lightweight VM-based threads, each VM itself runs in an isolated heap allowing multiple VMs to run simultaneously in different OS threads. The default language is R7RS Scheme, including first-class continuations and low-and-high-level hygienic macros.
