This was a nice little experience report. Most of the deficiencies in Hoot can be blamed on me.

> The error messages can be cryptic.

Apologies! Happy to receive issue reports about specific things that we can prioritize.

> It's even more incredible to know that it's running on a stack the team created themselves, not relying on Emscripten.

Building our own toolchain has proven again and again to have been the right choice. Emscripten would not have been useful for compiling Scheme to Wasm GC. Hoot is one of the few Scheme-to-Wasm implementations that takes advantage of the GC support (and the most mature of them all.)

> My initial understanding of Hoot was that it could compile any Guile program to the Web.

This is indeed the goal. However, that's a big compatibility surface area and we are not there yet. Help wanted! When we reach a critical mass of existing Guile code that "just works" then Hoot will be mature enough to become part of Guile itself as its official Wasm backend.
