Hello. I am announcing guile-gi v0.0.1.

guile-gi is a library that autogenerates Guile bindings for GObject
libraries that provide typelib files. GNU Guile is an implementation
of Scheme, a Lisp-like language. GObject is a standard way of writing
C-language libraries with headers and introspection information that
are intended to allow them to be used from other languages. Typelib
files are GObject's standard way to provide that introspection
information. Among the GObject libraries are GTK3 and WebKitGTK2, two
popular GUI libraries.

In short, this library hopes to make GTK3 and WebKit2 available to
Guile.

The git repo is at
https://github.com/spk121/guile-gi.git
The code can be browsed at
https://github.com/spk121/guile-gi
The almost non-existent documentation can be read at
https://spk121.github.io/guile-gi/
A tarball can be downloaded from
http://lonelycactus.com/tarball/guile-gi-0.0.1.tar.gz

To read about what this library is supposed to do, check out
https://spk121.github.io/guile-gi/Getting-Started.html

To see an example autogenerated library binding, check out
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spk121/guile-gi/master/test/Gtk_sample.scm

This is pre-alpha code which I am releasing well before it is useful
or ready, mostly for academic interest.

Regards,
Mike Gran

Congrats! Always nice to see more Guile libraries, even if only for
academic interest right now :)

Woohoo, nice!

The manual has this example:

guile -L . -c '(use-modules (gi)) (display (export-typelib "Gtk" "3.0"))' > Gtk.scm
guile -L . -c '(use-modules (gi)) (display (export-typelib "Gio" "2.0"))' > Gio.scm

I wonder if there could be a macro providing the same functionality as
‘export-typelib’ such that the typelib file would be interpreted at
macro-expansion time. :-)

Anyway, thumbs up!
