Hey Guilers!

On behalf of the Spritely Institute, I'm happy to announce that Guile
Hoot 0.9.0 has been released!  Hoot is a Scheme to WebAssembly
compiler backend for Guile, which means you can run Scheme in the
browser for real, tail calls and all.

Read the release notes here:

If you use Guix then it's easy to try out Hoot:

    guix pull
    guix shell guile guile-hoot

Also, the Spring Lisp Game Jam is starting on Friday, May 15th. Consider
joining up and making a game with Hoot!

That's all for now. If you build anything with Hoot, we'd love to hear
about it!

Happy hooting! =F0=9F=A6=89
