Chicken is by no means an insanely fast scheme (even though it is fast compared to many other dynamic languages). If you can get gerbil to work you will probably have at least another 1.5-2 to gain.
- rcarmo 7y agoI got it to work - in fact, here is my image: https://github.com/insightfulsystems/ubuntu-gerbil https://github.com/insightfulsystems/ubuntu-gerbil Chicken is plenty fast enough, though.
- bjoli 7y agoChicken is in many ways my favourite scheme. It is pragmatic and has what I think is the most welcoming community I have ever encountered. Coming from ruby and python to scheme, I was always surprised how fast things were. In python I was always trying to avoid going outside the C things in the stdlib, but in scheme I have gotten a fast experience while also being able to hack on the code base (I am at best a bad C programmer).
