This is a pretty cool project, but it doesn't have the library support of other schemes. Given CHICKEN's already Cheney based, I wonder if Felix could somehow integrate this work? Green-Threaded pre-emptive cooroutines are all well and good, but sometimes you want OS threads...
- justinethier 10y agoCyclone author here. R7RS libraries and SRFI's will help to some extent, for example hashtable support was more or less plug and play. As Cyclone matures it could potentially support R7RS-large which is going to include quite a bit. But we'll have to see how much of that can handle "real" things like database, graphics, etc. It would require major changes to the CHICKEN runtime to support native threads, but Cyclone does map out a potential solution.
- paines 10y agoThere is 1000$ bounty for enhacing CHICKEN with native threads. Maybe your work will trigger now someone :) .

Well, at least there is hope.
