C'm on, folks. Dreaming is OK, but once you wake up, you can
try to exercise your search engine skills. Guile is well and
alive (the Guilers meet every year at FOSDEM, talk videos seem
to be available), Guile's maintainer (Andy Wingo) is doing an
excellent job, and one of the more active Guile projects (Guix)
has just celebrated its 1.0 release.

The official web site is a good starting point:

  https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/

Ah, and Andy Wingo's blog is also recommended reading:

  https://wingolog.org

As to guile-emacs, there are two things here: first, the project
needs hands, it seems. I see four hands out there ;-) Second,
not everyone here likes Scheme (and they might be right), so it
would need some convincing (be sure to read the Emacs history by
Stefan Monnier and Michael Sperber, posted elsewhere in this list).

A good starting point on guile-emacs would be

  https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GuileEmacs

So -- lots to do!

Cheers
