Chicken doesn't support OS-level threads, but goroutines are green threads (implemented in the userland) and as such are equivalent to SRFI 18 threads, which Chicken implements. The mailbox egg provides the equivalent of Go channels. However, the Go runtime will exploit OS-level threads under the hood if a goroutine blocks, and Chicken will not. -- Real FORTRAN programmers can program FORTRAN John Cowan in any language. --Ed Post co...@ccil.org _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
