Hey there, it’s been a while! We’re back to share some more exciting news about Guile Hoot , a WebAssembly toolchain and Scheme→WASM compiler. In our last post we demonstrated that the Guile Hoot toolchain can be used to assemble programs written in WebAssembly Text (WAT) format, which allowed us to develop for the…
Hey, folks! Today we want to talk about the wonderful read-eval-print-loop (REPL) . Thanks to WebAssembly (Wasm), it's becoming increasingly common for programming language websites to embed a REPL in which passersby can easily evaluate code and get a feel for the language without having to install anything on their…
It's been just over three months since we announced the Guile on WebAssembly project (codenamed Hoot ). Since then we've brought on two fantastic hackers to develop the project and progress has been quick.
This blog post focuses on our second Spring Lisp Game Jam 2023 entry, wasm4-wireworld , an implementation of Wireworld on top of Hoot 's lower-level assembly tools which are a part of our Guile → Wasm project to bring Spritely Goblins -powered distributed applications to the common web browser.
Last week, we released a small puzzle game called Cirkoban . Cirkoban is the very first publicly accessible application developed by Spritely that features the Goblins distributed programming library running in web browsers. We bet big on Hoot , our Scheme-to-WebAssembly compiler, a little over a year ago in order to…

Unlike classic game jams like Ludum Dare, which have an intensive 2-3 day long duration, the Lisp Game Jam is much more casual and spans two whole weekends to give busy people (most of…
