I agree that Chicken has great potential on embedded Linux and embedded Linux has a rosey future what with Motorola phones, Nokia 770, Sony Mylo, Pepperpad and ALP (new Palm OS) to name a few. I have been developing an SDL based graphical console type app using Chicken and testing it on my Sharp Zaurus. What is cool is being able to test things out on board using the interpreter without needing to cross compile. I only had to cross compile a few extensions to get started. I can't imagine doing everything in C now. I am so much more productive using Chicken.
There are some nice tools out there now to help with building on ARM like scratchbox (scratchbox.org). When I tried some time back Chicken built out the box. John. On 05/09/06, felix winkelmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
With cross compilation, I currently am strictly speaking about Linux and it will probably use autotools for the time being, as unfortunate as that is. I work in an embedded systems company, Linux based, and Scheme would make an *excellent* application development language, much better than anything that is currently used.
