Hello & Happy New Year!
I'm new to Chicken Scheme. I've got some exposure to newLISP and
Gambit-C. I'm continueing my test-drive of Chicken because it
produced the smallest executable for helloworld.scm.
However, I'm having a bitch of a time finding a tutorial with
example code that is current to the most recent version of Chicken.
For example: at http://wiki.call-cc.org/friendly-chicken
one of the examples is:
#;1> (use utf8)
It barfs up:
Error: unbound variable: use
Call history:
<syntax> (use utf8)
<eval> (use utf8) <--
and the list goes on!
Any recent tutorials for Chicken out there? TIA ..

Hey there!
From a quick glance, it seems that page is for CHICKEN 4 (the current
version is 5). I think the only differences from that page are that
instead of `use` you should now use `import`, and that the `numbers` egg
is no longer needed to have a full numeric tower support.
As far as a "full" tutorial goes, I'm not in on it, but someone else may
give you some help on that front.
For differences between C4 and C5 you may want to take a look at this[0]
page. Some other possibly useful links are The Manual[1] and the
documentation[2] for the core language and all the eggs.
Hope this helps!
