[Chicken-users] We are looking for projects
Hello! As some of you already know, I'm currently working for bevuta IT GmbH, a software-development company located in Cologne, Germany. It is the first time that I have been able to create software on a professional basis using CHICKEN as a critical and fundamental part of real end-user applications. We are currently in the finalizing steps of a large project for mobile platforms (Android + iOS), which mainly uses CHICKEN and Erlang. Unfortunately there is no follow-up project yet in sight, which means that the company would have to lay off some employees unless we find something to do very soon. This would be a shame, since such a measure would tear apart a dedicated and effective team of developers. We have extensive experience with CHICKEN, Clojure, other Lisps, Objective-C, Android, iOS, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, JS/Web, C, Erlang, VoIP/SIP/telephony and a little hardware-engineering. So far we were fully responsible for complete projects, but we are also able to offer development-resources as needed, for example on a contracting basis. This project also was a serious test for running CHICKEN on Android and iOS and we are very pleased with the results, regarding performance, stability and convenience. A number of extension-libraries and patches to the core system have been produced during the work on this project and are made available here: https://github.com/organizations/chicken-mobile I would be extremely grateful for any hints or recommendations about possible jobs for us. Or perhaps keep an eye and an ear open for an opportunity. A bunch of motivated and productive programmers would be very happy about a new assignment. cheers felix ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
Re: [Chicken-users] [Chicken-hackers] [PATCH] Fix -no-parentheses-synonyms and -no-symbol-escapes
Hey there, Peter Bex peter@xs4all.nl writes: Here's a fix for this, with some regression tests to ensure this won't break again. I've hopefully simplified it enough to make it obviously correct. I also noticed that even after correcting the test, pipes occurring inside symbols were still allowed, so I've also fixed this by adding an additional check (the sep check was wrong so I ripped it out). sorry for the delay! I just tested, reviewed, and pushed this one. Thanks a lot for improving CHICKEN, guys :-) We should probably get rid of the unterminated string message in case it's actually an unterminated symbol at some point but this is not very important IMHO. Have a nice day! Moritz ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

Luckily, this was a trivial thing to fix. I've now pushed pstk 1.2.2 which should work with any CHICKEN version, be it master or one of the released versions. This version should become available shortly. Don't know about the tk egg problem. Same here.
