@dthompson @cwebber @platypus Oh, right, wrong 'match'! Now I see. I didn't make an explicit module import but it compiled fine, so I thought no further.

Implementing iota: I could try indeed, but there's a good chance I'll procrastinate. What form should that patch be? MR on Gitlab?

@cwebber @platypus I have an excellent bad idea to counter this: abandon HTML and retreat to SVG.

I made my Lisp Game Jam submission with Hoot, where I manipulate an SVG image in a mostly static web page. I used (a modified*) sxml->dom from https://spritely.institute/news/building-interactive-web-pages-with-guile-hoot.html which just ingests the sxml i feed it. The lispy balance in the world was preserved, because it was never disturbed in the first place -- except by my hacky code of course.

*: I first tried the literal code, but that got me a helpful if slightly confusing error message: the match statement couldn't be matched. Is "." in patterns not implemented in Hoot 0.5.0? I also missed the iota function that I wanted to use in a Python-generator-like way, so I used a named let which I find a bit less readable.

Overall the experience with an "unstable" Hoot was quite nice. It could have been nicer still if I had thought of (hoot eval)...

@d_j_fitzgerald @cwebber @notevenarealperson @cvwise @vv Unrelatedly, this shows Christine's *extensive* hugging powers, especially to her right side!
