dokma: i think racket is substantially more used than chicken (but I'm biased), it definitely has lots more libraries

dokma: racket is faster, has more papers published about it, and has an annual conference :)
<bremner>
If I understand correctly, chicken is better at making small self contained executables, if that is your priority.
<dokma>
bremner: from what I understood racket can produce self contained executables as well?
littlebo1eep has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<bremner>
yes. But from what I read those from chicken are smaller. You'd have to confirm that yourself.
<dokma>
My current chicken exe is 18Kb but small executables are not my priority.
<dokma>
Being able to distribute a compiled executable is though.
<dokma>
*chicken compiled executable*
<bremner>
OK. Your best source of "why should I use chicken scheme" reasons is probably other chicken scheme users
<dokma>
I've already talked to them.
<dokma>
TX
<bremner>
and, what's the salespitch, out of curiousity?
<dokma>
It's vague... they just like chicken
<dokma>
I haven't gotten a clear elevator pitch
<bremner>
OK.
<dokma>
Has racket added any modifications to scheme that would impeede portability?
<dokma>
What would this quote from Slant be about? "Racket2 leaving the Scheme/Lisp heritage behind and becoming something else entirely."

dokma: lots of racket is not really scheme (in the sense of RxRS), so you would have to be careful to write portable scheme in racket. I guess you could use #lang R6RS or #lang R5RS.
<bremner>
I thought there was some module for R7R6 support, but I don't see it at the moment.
<jA_cOp>
It's an experiment, in line with Racket's academic origins. I don't think it's going to replace Racket the Lisp language.
<jA_cOp>
dokma: as for one explanation of why Racket is called Racket as opposed to "Foo Scheme", see this page: https://racket-lang.org/new-name.html

dokma: in general, useful scheme programs are not portable, but Racket is somewhat further from other members of the scheme family than chicken or guile (as examples)
