This is your personal problem. If you don't like'em, don't use'em.

You compile one scripting language to another language (I wouldn't put
adjective 'scripting' to Guile). So it's running (nearly) as fast as
the compilation target. And as speed tests show that Guile is faster
than any other interpreter (when you turn debugging off), including
Perl, it makes sense.

This is religious issue. I'd be happier with almost anything else (as
I like the code I wrote at 4am to remain readable by 4pm of the next
day).

If you want to write GNOME apps in Perl, grab the proper module
(there's Perl/Gtk binding somewhere) and get to it.
