03:01.480 Q: About fibers: My understanding is that the problem with making Elisp concurrent is that none of the data structures (buffer, cons, vector, window etc) are concurrency-safe.  How do fibers help with this?
04:28.080 Q: Do you have a rough idea of how much of Guile is written in C?
06:19.240 Q: A Common Lisp implementation for Guile sounds really cool! Is there already work on this underway?
08:34.480 Q: Did switching from guile 2 to 3 give any performance benefits?
10:46.440 Q: Do you know if the Emacs maintainers are interested in switching to Guile as the engine for Emacs Lisp?
12:30.000 Q: Do you think guile-emacs will be able to use or (collaborate with) some of the other awesome projects around Emacs Lisp?
15:04.200 Q: SBCL, ...You mentioned Robert Strandh's SICL along with SBCL---does that work help with the implementation of CL in Guile?
