[Chicken-users] [ANN] New egg: protolk

[John Croisant]

Greetings, Chickeneers.

I have just released a new egg, protolk:

> Protolk provides flexible  object oriented programming in Scheme,
> combining encapsulation and message passing a la Smalltalk and Ruby,
> with prototypal inheritance a la Self and JavaScript.

You might be wondering how how Protolk differs from existing 
prototype-based object systems available for Chicken, such as JSO, 
Protobj, and Prometheus. JSO and Protobj are simpler, with no 
encapsulation or message passing, as far as I can tell. Prometheus is 
the most similar to Protolk, but there are some stylistic differences, 
especially related to inheritance and slots (Prometheus is inspired more 
by Self, and Protolk is inspired more by Ruby).

I have created a page for protolk on the Chicken wiki 
(https://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/protolk), but at the moment most of 
the documentation is on the project wiki: 
https://github.com/jacius/protolk/wiki . Once the API is more set in 
stone, I will add the API docs to the Chicken wiki so that they are 
searchable in Chickadee.

This is my first significant project written in Chicken (or even 
Scheme), so I would like to hear constructive feedback about code style, 
organization, etc.

Regards,
