Re: [Chicken-users] Rewriting Svnwiki in Java or PHP

[Zbigniew]

If the issue is difficulty with Scheme then may I suggest Bigloo.

Bigloo is based on a far easier dialect of Scheme.  For example,
Bigloo doesn't have first class continuations by default.  And the
Bigloo standard is only 49 pages, much of which is advertising.

Bigloo has fewer resources going into wikis, extensions, and
cross-platform builds.  That's more resources for your program.

Bigloo has a notion of static type annotations so the HTML will be
faster and more understandable for the average user.

Bigloo's build is based on GNU Autoconf, which is much easier to
program with when dealing with a large project such as a web page.

Finally, a major advantage of Bigloo over Chicken Scheme is that
Bigloo does not have Scheme in its name.  This is critical for your
goals.
