Publisher review:CHICKEN is a compiler for the Scheme programming language. CHICKEN is a compiler for the Scheme programming language.
CHICKEN produces portable, efficient C, supports almost all of the current Scheme language standard, R5RS and includes many enhancements and extensions.
Features:
- Includes a full-featured interactive interpreter as well as an optimizing batch compiler
- Full support for tail recursion, first-class continuations and high-level macros
- Highly portable and known to run on many platforms, including x86, x86-64, IA-64, PowerPC, SPARC and UltraSPARC, Alpha, MIPS, PA-RISC, ARM and S/390
- Distributed free for use and modification under the terms of the BSD License
- Transparent support for dynamically loadable compiled code and linkage to C
- A sophisticated but easy to use foreign function interface for accessing C and C libraries from Scheme code
- Lightweight threads based on first-class continuations
- An object system with multiple dispatch, multiple inheritance and meta-object protocol
- Provides the syntax-case enhanced high-level macro system (including R5RS syntax-rules), and define-macro style low-level macros
- Support for syntactic pattern-matching via Andrew Wright's match package
- Execution profiling, debugging, backtrace and single-stepping support
- A POSIX interface that covers environment and filesystem access, pipes, processes, signals, locks, sockets, and low-level and memory-mapped I/O
- Perl compatible regular expressions
- Support for interpreted or compiled shell scripts under Unix and Windows
- CHICKEN is supported by SWIG so interfacing to C or C can be automated
