Hello! Kon suggested a somewhat more user-friendly mac-like addition to the OS X binary release, and I thought it would be nice to have some sort of GUI repl that could be installed along with the binaries (and provided with the source release too, of course). So I dug out my mostly unfinished and rather clunky code, which I provide here in the hope that someone with more knowledge of OS X things might pick it up:
http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org/chicken-app.dmg It's really pretty bad: evaluation can't be interrupted (suggestion: eval code in each document in a different thread and somehow do some CFRunLoop funkyness to check for an interrupt key-combination), there is no online help (opening Safari on chicken.html should do) and handling input from stdin is not supported (since the current selection is eval'd, so there is no real stdin). Moreover it doesn't use the objc egg, which removes the dependency on objc and libffi, but it might be prefereable to use the wonderful objc bridge. Anybody interested in taking a look?
