[plt-scheme] Re: Which library?

Thanks for all the responses.  It helps me understand better how PLT
Scheme is being used on a day to day basis.

I'm still trying to sort through in my mind the difference between
many of these different libraries/extensions.  I think a little
history about how they came into being might help me out.  Can anyone
fill me in?

I already understand that SRFIs are an attempt to create a standard
set of libraries that can be expected to be available in multiple
scheme implementations.

What is the story behind Swindle?  It seems to have a great deal of
overlap with other extensions, and yet it is definitely distinct.
What niche does it serve?  Is it the best source of a CLOS style
object system for PLT Scheme?

What is the relationship between modules and units?

Is FrTime "ready for prime-time", or is it still only for adventurous
experimenters?

Thanks,

Mark
