Just curious. Does anyone use Chicken Scheme in production?

  The CHICKEN team is a big fan of dog fooding: the wiki, pastebin, egg documentation search (which is yet to be updated to C5) and our infrastructure sysadmin stuff in the background is all written in CHICKEN.

    Also the test stuff and the compiler itself. :-) Regarding non-own dog food, http://wiki.call-cc.org/Software http://wiki.call-cc.org/Software lists some projects using CHICKEN.

  It's not a high-volume application by any means, but I wrote an online testing program (multiple choice, etc.) in Chicken that's been running at our university for about twelve years. It was meant as a short-term, interim solution until the bugs in our 'enterprise' testing system were fixed... but it still finds some use today. (I just took a peek at the database; we've had about 250,000 test submissions over the years. Not bad for a little Scheme app.)
