Guile AWS is pre-alpha software. At the very least it’s yet another demonstration that Guile’s compiler tower can be used to generate an embedded domain specific language from JSON specifications.
-The DSL Guile AWS produces is unpolished and thus pretty repetitive and ugly. Even in the simplest of cases it is verbose:

The S3 API (for example) defines aliases for some operations, such as “PostObjectRestore” for “RestoreObject”. The compiler should process the “alias” field.
** Record possible errors
The S3 API (for example) defines possible error names. While their shape is not specified anywhere we should generate values for these error conditions.
-** Do not require an input
- Some operations don’t require any input, such as =ListBuckets=. For operations like that we should not be forced to specify #F.
** Process output shapes
We generate types for all defined shapes — including output shapes — but we don’t mashall the output SXML into appropriate Scheme values yet.
** Turn errors into Scheme conditions
