Dear Chickeneers,
with the workshop having been yesterday I thought I'd report back on how
it went. First of all I'd like to thank the CCC Cologne for providing
the space and equipment for the workshop, it's always nice to be a guest
in your rooms. Also thanks to all participants for attending

every participant wondered about was that csi didn't provide readline
support out of the box.
The answer is that supplying readline by default would require csi to
be released under the GPL. There are two ways around this problem that

We should not limit ourselves to libraries written in C! Ocaml has the
same issue with readline, since it uses a funky French license, and one
of their solutions is ledit, an rlwrap-like program implemented entirely
in Ocaml. Chicken already has all the bindings to the core C I/O
functions, so

Keep in mind, though, that readline provides a lot more than just history
(like completion, or my beloved vi mode...). Seems like a lot
Of course, you will always be able to install the readline egg. This
is about providing minimal readline functionality to new users who don't
know yet about chicken-install, and who run csi expecting to have
command history and perhaps completion available to them. I don't think
we have to
Fellow Chickenauts,
I would like to point the attention of our German readers to the Chaos
Computer Club Cologne Café taking place next Saturday in (you guessed
it) Cologne, Germany. Yours truly will talk a bit about the history and
merits of Lisp in general and then dive into a Chicken powered
