There are several projects not directly related to the Guile project, which are nonetheless using Guile. Some of these are listed below. If you think your project (or some other project you know about) should be here please contact the Guile arachnist and let him know what you project is and where to find more information on it.

Applications

• The GNOME project is building a complete, user-friendly desktop. They are using ILU and Guile for a large part of their development.
• The scwm project is working on developing a window manager using Guile for much of the configuration and internal workings. A current release is available here.
• Gord Matzigkeit is writing GUSH, the GNU User's SHell. The difference between Gush and other command shells is that it aggressively reuses modular Guile code. So, rather than being forced to exec new programs and incur the complexity of shared libraries, Gush can load and cache Guile app scripts.
• Craig Brozefsky has ported SDC to Guile. a tarball is available here.
• Sula has been enhanced to include guile support. See this web page for more info.
• PGRT at MSU is using guile to integrate multiple instrumentation systems (JEWEL, Vista, and BRISK), visualization tools (PGRT visual objects), and other off-the-shelf tools (e.g., interfaces to MATLAB).

Extensions

• Bernard Urban has modified Guile and Hobbit to create a compilation system for Guile.
• Tim Pierce has put together a small set of extensions to add www and cgi functionality into Guile.
• Alex Stark has written a minimal package for allowing easy manipulation and access of uniform array data from C. It is available from his web site.
• Karl Hegbloom has written a get-opt package. It is available from his web site.
• Marius Vollmer has released guile-gtk 0.11, get it from his the web site.

Interfaces

One goal of the Guile Project is to create an interpreter that is easy to embed in other packages. This requires good interfaces with other languages.

• Anthony Green has written libffi, a library providing a portable, high level programming interface to various calling conventions. Marius Vollmer has written the needed glue to get Guile and libffi to work together, his work is available at his site.
• Chris Lee has written G-Wrap, a portable tool for easily importing types, functions, and constants into Guile.
• Dave Beazely has written SWIG -- a Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator, which works with Guile.
• Russ McManus is maintaining an emacs interface mode which is available at his home site.
• Clark McGrew has updated his guile-foreign module. Check out his web-page for details.
