GN3 Guile Webservice

This directory provides a Guile endpoint for the REST API. It is used in conjunction with the Python REST API and WIP.

GNU Guile allows you to develop against a live running web server using emacs-geiser. To try this fire up the web server as

. .guix-shell -- guile --listen=1970 -e main ./webserver.scm 8091

Note the leading dot. The .guix-shell is defined in genenetwork3/gn3-guile/web and loads required packages using GNU Guix.

Next fire up emacs with emacs-geiser-guile and connect to the running web server with M-x geiser-connect and the port 1970. Now you can not only inspect procedures, but also update any prodedure on the live server using C-M-x and get updated output from the webserver!
