Thank you. (I'm the author of the library.) It came about after quite a few tries at a good API and with a lot of feedback from other CHICKEN hackers. It probably isn't very portable right now, unfortunately. It uses a lot of CHIC

It is true that it is a little more nuanced than "has no syntax". The core of the language has very little syntax relative to many of the more popular languages but it still does have some syntax. The confusion also arises because

The problem I have is I don't look through my fridge, freezer, and pantry every day to see what things are going to go bad soon. I often forget about something I have, especially if it ends up behind or under something else. I don&#x27

As far as I know chicken meets all of those requirements quite well. Chicken starts up extremely fast even for very large applications as long as you compile it. The library ecosystem is obviously not as well developed as a major framework

Over what time period? We have an average of less than 1 exception per month. I have also worked on a larger web app that would get thousands of exceptions per day. I think near 0 is very possible as long as you aggressively attack all exce

C# is quite impressive, especially in comparison to Java. If it had been released earlier, wasn't owned solely by Microsoft, and supported all major platforms equally, it could have been huge, even larger than Java. If C# had reversed roles

The inclusion of lambdas is great, but not supporting full closures severely hampers their usefulness. Instead of using lambdas to use patterns like CPS (continuation passing style) or alternative object interfaces, lambdas just save you fr

I would highly recommend chicken scheme for most projects. It isn't as mature as other ecosystems, but it is getting there fast and is already quite mature and practical. I've used it to build multiple web apps/sites.[0][1] Learn more about

I've evaluated other schemes as well and built my personal site and a few web apps in chicken scheme. Why do I love it? It can be fast, very fast. You can embed C code if it isn't fast enough. It is very practical, there are many libs. It c

I wonder how well the terms correlate with regards to search traffic. I often build up a list of search terms in the google adwords tool and see the traffic estimates for them and related keywords for evaluating niche markets.
