Well, in fact I found very practical to made that sort of stuff. Write your C code then just a bit of Scheme so that Chicken is aware of the C code. Compile, that's it. What's more, given chicken-setup, it's also easy to make your library available to the community. Graham, I did the example that way because I like to separate C from Scheme : - if I want to move more to C side for performance, it will be easier - I keep in my head the possibility to make the library available as widely as possible by keeping it in C and making bindings for other languages.
