This is a joke?  If not, let me say that this:

is what I would recommend to everybody who isn't primarily working in
guile anyway.  Even if somebody went to the trouble of making
libmatheval guile-2.2-compatible, there's a very good chance that we
at GNU Mailman would, as Abhilash suggested, just say "uswgi is
unsupported and risky at best, use gunicorn if you want any help from
us on your WSGI server".  It's not a matter of being a language bigot,
it's a matter of managing our own dependencies if we have to.  When
the dependency itself is unmaintained and depends on multiple language
ecosystems we don't normally work with, "good-bye" is our favorite
word.
