I disagree that new users should know how to put together a R5RS environment with Chicken. As a new user of Chicken, my concern was not with standards-conforming code; my concern was how to get code to work using the functional programming idioms I had learned from Standard ML.
With a high probibility that Chicken users will be coming from other PLs, I think a series of "Chicken for Python Programmers", "Chicken for Ruby Programmers", etc could be very helpful. Where are my hashes? How do I do string concatenation? Where are my objects? These questions, and more, should be answered.
I suggest we draft Hans (http://4.flowsnake.org/) for the Python doc. :-)
I'll add these tasks to the Wiki. -M _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
