Is there a vector drawing library you’d recommend similar to rackets 2htdp/image?

I’m sure this would need some patching to work on Hoot but [Guile Picture Language](https://elephly.net/guile-picture-language/) comes to mind. It works by creating SVG so I think it has the potential to integrate really nicely into a web application.

I’m attempting to try this out- where do you see the SVG output? I wasn’t able to find a reference to that in the manual

IIRC it will create temporary files with the resulting image data, but it’s been awhile since I’ve used it. The fancy image rendering you see in the screenshot on the home page is only supported in Emacs with the Geiser extension.
