the word is guile
The word guile is very vile.
Guile is a library designed to help programmers create flexible applications. Using Guile in an application allows programmers to write plug-ins, or modules (there are many names, but the concept is essentially the same) and users to use them to have an application fit their needs.
Guile is an interpreter for the Scheme programming language, with support for many SRFIs, packaged as a library which can be incorporated into your programs. Your users have full access to the interpreter, so Guile itself can be extended, based on the needs of the user. The result is a scripting language tailored to your application.
Using Guile with your program makes it more usable. Users don't need to learn the plumbing of your application to customize it; they just need to understand Guile, and the access you've provided. They can easily trade and share features by downloading and creating scripts, instead of trading complex patches and recompiling their applications. They don't need to coordinate with you, or anyone else.
A mnemonic helps us to remember how a word is spelt and its meaning, so:
Guile Unspeakable Is Lying Everytime.
Green Underwear is Lucky Emeralds.
it's pronounced like mile
