[Chicken-users] channel egg: hang on closed channel?

[Kristian Lein-Mathisen]

Hi folks!

I'm just starting to look at the channel egg and its nifty API. I've
encoutered some behaviour that I think is a little odd:

(let ((c (make-channel)))
  (close-channel c)
  (channel-receive c))

The code snippet above hangs forever. I would expect channel-receive to
return immediately with its default thunk (#f).

Is this intentional?

Re: [Chicken-users] Chicken Spring Gathering in Norway

[Kristian Lein-Mathisen]

Hi folks!

It's exciting to see that 8 people have signed up for the CHICKEN gathering
already :D We've also managed to persuade Felix to join us! Time to settle
for dates: Everybody's free on the weekend of Friday 2nd May, so that's
what we went for. However, we decided to extend the event's duration:

Start: Wednesday, April 30th
End: Sunday, May 4th

That's when we've booked rooms at our Uni. Feel free to arrive on Friday
though, if you have a grumpy boss! But 1st of May may be a holiday in your
country, so don't give up too easily :)

We are hoping to attract some Scheme newcomers from the local student
community. Please contact us if you would like to have talks or if you know
someone who might!

I hope that more people still will sign up on the event wiki:

  Please add yourselves!
 
  We haven't really planned anything specific, except the usual stuff:
  - a couple very informal talks
  - workshops so people can work on their favorite eggs
  - check out the touristy spots of the city
  - check out the less touristy spots of the city
  - eat and drink beer
 
  You're all very welcome to our beautiful city, hope to see you there!

 Excellent news, Kristian!  Thanks for hosting the gathering.  I've added
 it to http://wiki.call-cc.org/events

 Best wishes.
 Mario
