That is great news.

This is orthogonal to Go-style channels, though. I see. I am not knowledgable in the area compilers/threads/OS processes, let alone in the magic that makes fairly efficiant C code come out of chicken. However, I imagine the the limitation when it comes to core usage is linked to the transcription technique of scheme to C. Otherwise one could peek in the C source of the go routines and translate them to chicken, no? Cheers!
