- nerdponx 5y agoChez is also also the default backend for Idris 2. Edwin Brady (Idris 2 creator and main author) has mentioned a few times that Chez is surprisingly and impressively fast.
- rgrmrts 5y agoHow does the C ffi in Chez (or guile if anyone is familiar) compare with Chicken? I’ve heard good things about all three but have only used guile a bit, but never the C ffi. I’ve heard Chicken proponents speak highly of the ffi but have not seen any comparisons between the three implementations.

- tonyg 5y ago"Cadence Research Systems" (CRS) was Kent's company. The system was "Chez", and was a commercial product of CRS since the '80s. Kent sold CRS (and thus Chez) to Cisco in 2011, and they didn't commercialize it directly, but happily it was open-sourced in 2016.
