Hi Arto--I wouldn't be overly concerned about nested delimiters; I've never had need for them, speaking as a very heavy Perl user, and I wonder if anyone else has. You can always just select another delimiter. This is one of those features that Perl has, I think, just because it's Perl. On

[Chicken-users] Request for comments on the SQLite3 egg API

2007-06-28 Thread Thomas Christian Chust
Hello, the handling of Scheme booleans and SQL NULL values in the SQLite3 egg seems to be a constant source of confusion. Thus I would like to ask if a majority of users would prefer a different approach. Currently, the SQLite3 egg converts NULL values returned from SQLite3 into #f but doesn't

Hello, I apologize in advance if this question is silly. I'm playing around with chicken because a) it is scheme and b) it offers tight integration with existing libraries. In particular, I want to do play around with Window's sound and GUI APIs. But right now I'm doing some testing on Linux,
