hopefully you will find some time to continue working on the project!
It would definitely be great to end up with a daemon written in Guile
at some point in time.

I have a probably naïve question, since I did not follow the project closely:
Instead of an all-or-nothing outcome, success or failure, merge or bit rot,
would it be possible to set up an incremental update path?
Use some of your scheme code to replace part of the C++ daemon?
Maybe write a high-level scheme engine that shells out to C++ functions in
the current daemon, that could gradually be replaced by chunks of your code?

If this is nonsense, please do not hesitate, you or other specialists of
the topic, to call it so ;-)

Cheers,

Andreas
