(You meant, "to discourage users *by* making things harder than needed", right?) Great idea -- such a tutorial would be excellent! As you suggested earlier, Michele, it would be great to have better error reports (and decent tracebacks, please!). I'd also love a remote-REPL facility, to connect to a running spiffy server... A few tools like this, and spiffy/Chicken could easily become my framework of choice for Web app prototyping. Heck -- if we can throw in a consistent DB API, a MySQL egg, a few handy webapp framework components, and a good tutorial, then you've got a serious contender in the silent masses' quest for the ideal LAMP (LAMS?) framework. (Well, maybe, if the silent masses can learn to digest parentheses.) > In short Felix, thank you for your hard work and for your revolutionary > effort in putting Scheme out of the ivory tower ;) +1. From my POV, Chicken is the Scheme sweet-spot; thanks Felix for your tremendous effort. -- Graham _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
