Licence is not a problem for me yet, because this software is not for commercial use. I just do not like side effects when they should not happen, even if they are not crucial at the moment. The worst thing when they become crucial later.
I don't see the benefit of this standard deviation of chicken scheme. If one says it is about performance, I can say scheme's text based read/write is far from the performance what binary I/O can provide. The real benefit of read/write is simplicity and portability. This latter is lost in our case now. I think read/write is so basic, the simplest code modules written first for chicken have side effects or (with using special eggs) become unportable to other scheme implementations. My opinion is that any reasonable scheme implementation should follow the standard first, and extend it second. `bg` On 26/08/07, Ivan Raikov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > In that case, perhaps a note about using eggs with different but > compatible licenses should be included in the FAQ, or along with the > main Chicken license.
