I've been playing in own sandbox for a while. I've lost touch with what
guile-core and guile-www provide. But, I agree that some of those POSIX-style
APIs are klunky.
(I hesitated at announcing the project because I felt bad about not instead
focusing my effort on using (web ...) and guile-www. But it did come out
rather nice, I think.)

I weakly agree with this statement. But I think that if a language doesn't
have
a LAMP-like stack, it is missing an opportunity to be useful. So I somewhat
agree web stuff doesn't need to be *in* the language but it certainly needs to
be *nearby* the language (whatever that means).
OTOH, pure scheme scripts don't take up a lot of space.

This is a valid point. Serveez is GPL 2+.
