Re: [Chicken-users] Live programming with Chicken

[alex]

I have something like this set up on Unix. I start a separate SRFI-18 
thread with a procedure that starts the main loop. Then (in the original 
thread) I call repl. The main loop calls thread-yield! after every 
iteration to make sure that the original thread evaluates each 
expression as soon as I press the return key.

I had some trouble with this last part at first: the original thread 
waited several seconds before evaluating my input. I think that the fix 
was nothing more than calling thread-yield! every loop iteration.
