Hi,
I've just come across Chicken, while looking for a good tool for several
projects. I have looked at the documentation and the sources briefly and
I must say I am quite impressed with what I've seen so far!
I have some general questions:
-- I saw that SWIG support for Chicken seems to be coming. How
advanced is that?
-- is there an interface to GTK+ and/or Gnome in the works?
-- I'm worried about application size and total size including
libraries. Which of the shared libraries (built on Linux) are
really required? It seems they overlap: what would be the smallest
subset that would still include the full functionality as described
in the manual?
-- how are threads implemented? Are they done within Chicken (what
some call 'lightweight'), or can they be OS threads on Linux? In
particular, I'm worried about threads and blocking I/O: if they all
block, their utility is greatly reduced.
many thanks,
--J.
