I am working on TinT (Tint is not Termite), a Chicken specific

Alike in the sense that is generally shares syntax & semantics,

no constraint to be 100% faithful. (How could I be, Termite is
still evolving.)
Hurrah! I've actually been lurking on the gambit & chicken lists
to see if anyone would try something like this...
Pretty clear (to me) I'm not trying your interest.
Has anyone used chicken for multiprocessor systems?
Only at the OS process level.
I.e. with low-level threading that can take advantage of dual-core
systems.
(this could be fun to integrate with Henry Baker's EGAL paper
(http://home.pipeline.com/~hbaker1/ObjectIdentity.html) and his
Cheney-on-the-MTA paper that CHICKEN already implements... for
certain values of "fun" :)
You know this would be a different language. Very "fun", yes ;).
I know multi-core support is one of Erlang's goals for this-coming
year, and there have been some requests on the Gambit list for this
lately, but I haven't found too many systems (scheme or otherwise)
supporting this "now".
And I'm not one of them. Sorry. But the future beckons.
cheers,
Daniel Faken
