@daviwil Also you point to guildhall and you mention it's defunct but Guile-Hall is alive!

https://gitlab.com/a-sassmannshausen/guile-hall

It has Guix integration so you can make Guix packages from it and some extra stuff.

I use it here:
https://git.elenq.tech/guile-neocities/tree/

And it is mentioned in Guile's manual:

@ekaitz_zarraga I forgot about that one even though I have covered it once before on stream. I'll look at it a bit more closely!

@daviwil It's pretty ok. It generates all the autotools setup you need, just using the hall.scm file.
The interface is a little bit weird and if you clean it removes too many files imho, but it's more than ok.
I don't like autotools myself but the development experience with it was nice.

@ekaitz_zarraga yeah, the use of Autotools in Guile projects is a little annoying but I understand the need. I'm glad that Hall generates the boilerplate
