I think the Guile community of yore would have no idea what Street Fighter was but now we should embrace it as long as Capcom doesn't get mad.

Originally, it was called GEL (GNU Extension Language) but was later renamed to GUILE.

There was a forum where Tom Lord, the creator of GEL talked about the early history from his perspective. Unfortunately I cannot remember where it is. Sadly, Tom Lord passed away in 2022.

The other Scheme environment I use regularly is Gambit. So, reppin both Marvel and Capcom.
