   @spectrumgomas Kind of a "When I was a beginner, I did X. When I was intermediate, I did Y! Now that I'm old, I do X." thing.

   Records (use R6RS or SRFI-99 or something, not archaic SRFI-9) are great, but a lot of the time you can get away with a few helper functions and primitive types, and they work better with everything else in Scheme.

     @mdhughes Yes, I found this on mastodon as well: https://mastodon.online/@luis_felipe/105839045965220271 . But anyone seems to use them in Guile. At least I haven't found any examples.

     @spectrumgomas Good enough tutorial in TSPL4:https://www.scheme.com/tspl4/records.html#./records:h0And a practical example later:https://www.scheme.com/tspl4/examples.html#./examples:h4

     Almost everyone uses the declarative interface, procedural is for advanced cases like building your own object system.
