Hello Tonton,

I found the videos by Amirouche Boubekki interesting:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=GNU+Guile+Hacking&t=ffab&ia=videos&iax=videos&iai=i47QgE0ihSw

He shows web development with Guile. What I remember:

* serving biwascheme JS to run Scheme in browser, having it interact
with procedures on the server side
* serving static files (although he warns not to do it the way shown in
the videos)
* routing using pattern matching on the requests
* using SXML to render HTML

I did not see all videos yet, so there might be much more.

The knowledge is not very compressed and it might take a while to get
through the videos, but the videos are realistic and show that "things
are possible" with Guile.
