I switched from Python to Guile as my go-to scripting language a few months ago and I've been enjoying it.

Pros:
- Guile is a Scheme
- Guile is slop-free
- Guile is faster than Python
- Guile can easily be embedded in other programs
- Guile easily compiles to WASM with Hoot

Cons:
- Guile's syntax can be less readable
- Guile's ecosystem is smaller
- Guile is less documented
