A prominent use of Guile is as the configuration language for Guix, GNU's version of Nix

It's the official GNU extension language, so it's fairly widely used in the GNU world I think.

It's also the language of the init system/service manager on GuixSD (the full OS distribution based on Guix), GNU Shepherd (a.k.a. dmd), and IIRC their initrd runs a Guile program instead of a shell script.
