    Guile Scheme is the official extensions language for the GNU Project. Guile and Guix's history often intersect as Guix is seen as the shining poster child of Guile and contributes to a lot of Guile's development.

    When you say "Scheme" you should also refer to what type of Scheme you're referring to as there are multiple with different feature sets/goals.
