These are Guile bindings for GNU Lightning, i.e., it allows Lightning
"assembly" to be written from Scheme code, plus it contains an
experimental compiler that would compile a simplified variant of Scheme
directly into Lightning assembly.

The binding part itself is quite comparable to Sassy, except that Sassy
is limited to x86 assembly:
