Those are two different use-cases. With guile foo.js, guile does not
have to search for the file: it just uses the one you passed.

With -e '(foo)' it has to search for a matching module in the known /
defined load paths.

Note also guile -L . -e '(foo)' -c '' has lower startup time than guile
foo.scm. If I understand it correctly that’s because it simply mmaps the
compiled *.go file while guile foo.scm always reads the file.

Best wishes,
