Re: [Chicken-users] updating eggs
Honestly, I just feed the output of chicken-status into chicken-install -reinstall -Dan On 14-12-16 11:44 PM, Alexej Magura wrote: Is there a way to update eggs?

If you are using CHICKEN 4.9.0 or newer, you can $ chicken-install `chicken-status -eggs` There's also https://github.com/mario-goulart/chicken-update-eggs which should work with older CHICKEN versions.

[Chicken-users] Scheduled call-cc.org server maintenance
Hi, The call-cc.org server will undergo scheduled maintenance today, December 17th, at 16:00h EST. The expected downtime is 4 hours. During the maintenance time, the services provided by the following subdomains will be unavailable: * bugs.call-cc.org * code.call-cc.org * gazette.call-c.org * paste.call-cc.org * tests.call-cc.org * wiki.call-cc.org * www.call-cc.org The following subdomains will still be available: * api.call-cc.org * salmonella-freebsd-x86-64.call-cc.org * salmonella-linux-x86.call-cc.org * salmonella-linux-x86-64.call-cc.org The salmonella machines will be available, but may be affected because they use some services provided by the servers that will be shut down during the maintenance time. Note that the canonical eggs server (chicken.kitten-technologies.co.uk) will NOT be affected. We apologize in advance for the inconvenience. Best wishes, Mario (on behalf of the CHICKEN Team) -- http://parenteses.org/mario ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
[Chicken-users] Why there is no nil?
I'm curious to know why nil is not defined in CHICKEN and one has to use '() instead?

Hi Bahman, I just thought I'd add that the only thing that evaluates to false in Scheme is #f. K.

Re: [Chicken-users] Why there is no nil?
It's remarkable how much energy in the standardization of Lisp dialects has been dissipated in arguments that are literally over nothing: Should nil be an ordinary name? Should the value of nil be a symbol? Should it be a list? Should it be a pair? In Scheme, nil is an ordinary name Other dialects of Lisp, including Common Lisp, treat nil as a special symbol. The authors of this book, who have endured too many language standardization brawls, would like to avoid the entire issue.
