"I want to improve this software with one feature but not inherit the whole codebase or have to hard fork its community" is the major social challenge that a good monetized plugin system solves. Commoditize plugin systems. Hoot 0.5.0 is an exciting step forward. https://spritely.institute/news/guile-hoot-v050-released.html

Guile Hoot 0.5.0 is probably the most performant, meterable, safest to write language to ever become trivially executable in the browser. It deserves to spark a modularity renaissance.

It is a strong answer to "how to give an AI agent limited permissions that are also dynamic?" People have no idea.

That all said, the dx is still going to terrorize a tradmac dev today. I'm setting up a debian vm with guix on parallels to use it in its more native environment.

This should be a short lived awkward phase as more of the execution environment becomes web-native (the macro expander).

Good enough for motivated play.

In browser REPL is an ideal proof of the current state:

Just over 1MB currently, but as it stabilizes & caches on CDN, that can be shared across any apps that need it. 1MB for a secure confinement system. No hypervisor. No ISOs.

If you want to learn more about why it's easy to write safe confinement in LISP, this is the talk. It's really beautiful:
