Can anyone summarize how Guile is supposed to interpret/interact-with other languages? I thought Guile was just the GNU Scheme interpreter (now bytecode vm, I guess), but it seems lately that it's turning into something like Parrot. Is that the case?

It was always intended to be a backend for whatever language you want; it just didn't get any real use other than the Scheme frontend until recently.
