Hello & Happy New Year! I'm new to Chicken Scheme. I've got some exposure to newLISP and Gambit-C. I'm continueing my test-drive of Chicken because it produced the smallest executable for helloworld.scm. However, I'm having a bitch of a time finding a tutorial with example code that is current to the most recent version of Chicken. For example: at http://wiki.call-cc.org/friendly-chicken one of the examples is: #;1> (use utf8) It barfs up: Error: unbound variable: use Call history: <syntax> (use utf8) <eval> (use utf8) <-- and the list goes on! Any recent tutorials for Chicken out there? TIA .. -- Duke
Hey there!From a quick glance, it seems that page is for CHICKEN 4 (the current version is 5). I think the only differences from that page are that instead of `use` you should now use `import`, and that the `numbers` egg is no longer needed to have a full numeric tower support.
As far as a "full" tutorial goes, I'm not in on it, but someone else may give you some help on that front.
For differences between C4 and C5 you may want to take a look at this[0] page. Some other possibly useful links are The Manual[1] and the documentation[2] for the core language and all the eggs.
Hope this helps! [0]: https://wiki.call-cc.org/porting-c4-to-c5 [1]: https://wiki.call-cc.org/man/5/The%20User%27s%20Manual [2]: https://api.call-cc.org/5/doc/ André Sá
