CHICKEN +generates quite portable C code, and files compiled by it (including +itself) should work without any changes on most platforms. + +The whole package is distributed under a BSD license and as such free +to use and modify as long as you adhere to its terms (see the manual). +Linkage to C modules and C-library functions is straightforward, so +it's easy to access C from Scheme. Compiled code can be embedded into +existing C programs without problems. The generated code supports +full tail-recursion, first-class continuations, multiple values and +dynamic-wind. |
