There are a huge number of scheme implementations now; even thinking
just about scheme, is guile still competitive?

Why?  There are tons of random little languages around now, some very
popular (i.e., javascript), many not so much.  Clojure is not scheme, so
why is it any better than those?  [Compatibility with the java runtime
is important for some people, but AFAIK, not for Emacs!]
