Yes, a map written in Chicken Scheme is way better marketing than a map 
written in (Python Perl Ruby PHP), which is what Frappr! is calling for 
on their job site http://www.frappr.com/?a=jobs .  Also the URL 
www.frappr.com mainly advertizes Frappr, not Chicken or Scheme.  Any 
trick that drives web surfers to the Chicken site is worthwhile; this is 
exactly why people "duplicate things" in the paying software world.
