I'm looking for a good java scheme and I haven't settled yet. (Sisc may be faster, and it may be the one I end up with, but it seems underdocumented to me.) If you want a small extension language for an existing program written in something besides scheme, tinyscheme or guile come to mind. If that something-beside-scheme is C, I'd probably go with Chicken. To get screaming fast numeric code stalin. Stalin doesn't currently support the numeric tower. (That said, I'm very impressed by what it can do.) Chicken also has a few ways to more-or-less easily optimize your code, for example the crunch egg. As for choosing chicken... This thread might degenerate into AOL hell as everybody me-too:s, but for me it's ease of use, good continuation performance, many extensions, great community (+ felix!) and good integration with C and Unix.

Nightly builds and automated testing systems are only wish list for Chicken. CMake has the infrastructure to do all of that elegantly, but nobody has the inclination to actually implement it. I've had it as a task in our bug tracker for awhile, but recently I abdicated responsibility for it, as it's a huge task and I must look to more $ things right now. Is there anything like a build farm available or are the chicken builds just done on some developers' machinery? I might actually be interested in this, but don't know what I could deliver.

Re: [Chicken-users] chicken and stalin
Brandon Van Every scripsit: Speed, to the exclusion of all other considerations, is not the real world. I can understand compiling portable Scheme code under any 2 different compilers. I cannot fathom trying to get such code to interoperate. This thread reads like a Frankenstein support nightmare. Developing code under Chicken is fairly straightforward; developing code under Stalin is painful in the extreme. It therefore is plausible to have a Stalin-compatible library for Chicken that allows one to develop code that Stalin can handle after it is fully debugged under Chicken. You can then gain the advantages of Stalin's massive optimizations to gain execution speed. -- John Cowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ccil.org/~cowan In the sciences, we are now uniquely privileged to sit side by side with the giants on whose shoulders we stand. --Gerald Holton ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
[Chicken-users] Number representation question
Hello, According to the R5RS spec, I should be able to write a number like this: .3###e-5 However, chicken rejects this with the numbers egg and determines it is an unbound variable. What's up? (I realize the mathematical simplification of it, but that isn't the point, I think it should be recognized by the lexer and it isn't). Thank you. -pete ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
