   @normandy @taknamay Hey thanks, taknamay if you feel up to it I'd love to pick your brain sometime. I'm kind of stuck between Guile and Chicken (maybe picrin?), but the number of implementations can be kind of overwhelming.

     @csaurus @normandy guile and chicken are both pretty great, you'd be fine with both. I'd say guile is more specialized than chicken, and

     @csaurus @normandy seems to have a larger base. Guile is designed for a special purpose but does have e.g. networking, GUI. I'd say chicken.

     @csaurus @normandy Oops I meant to say "chicken has a larger user base because it is less specialized"

     @taknamay @normandy @csaurus But #Chicken doesn't have an application integrates a whole GNU system. ;-)

     @clacke @taknamay @normandy This was part of my reasoning. Also the website has cute robots, I'm shallow enough that a good website can make me more likely to use a product.

     @csaurus @taknamay @normandy It is a not-irrelevant indicator that ther's a community that has enough spare time to spend it on web design.

     @csaurus @taknamay @normandy I'll tell https://identi.ca/cwebber the new design paid off in at least one case!
