Guile Hoot 0.2.0 is out now! https://spritely.institute/news/guile-hoot-v020-released.html More R7RS features! A foreign function interface! Record types! Structured exceptions! I also wrote an accompanying post that shows how you can use Hoot's new FFI to call browser APIs and build interactive web pages. https://spritely.institute/news/building-interactive-web-pages-with-guile-hoot.html 🦉 hoot hoot! 🦉 15 comments

@dthompson it works fine in firefox 120 after toggling javascript.options.wasm_tail_calls using about:config. Also, this is really cool!!!

Works on Android 11 with Chrome 119, but not Firefox 120.0.1 (can't set javascript.options.wasm_tail_calls via about:config).

FWIW, in Firefox for Android Beta (identifies as "121.0b5") the todo list works, and one can set the option.

FWIW, works on #OpenBSD 7.4 with firefox 120 from packages! As already mentioned you have to set "javascript.options.wasm_tail_calls" to true via about:config.

@dthompson Now I only need symbolic CSS and I'd have all I want for web development with Guile 👍

@luis_felipe someone should work on that :) I think it has been attempted before but with less success.

@luis_felipe here's the attempt I was thinking of, also called SCSS: https://www.more-magic.net/posts/lispy-dsl-scss.html |

if you use guix and the nonguix channel, you can check out the demo in the ffi blog post like so:
guix shell google-chrome-unstable -- google-chrome-unstable https://spritely.institute/news/building-interactive-web-pages-with-guile-hoot.html
(soon you will be able to use firefox instead of chrome but there's no guix package that has wasm gc and tail calls yet)
