CHICKEN (Scheme implementation)

CHICKEN is a compiler and interpreter for the Scheme programming language that compiles Scheme code to standard C. It is mostly R5RS compliant and offers many extensions to the standard. CHICKEN is free software available under the BSD license. It is implemented mostly in Scheme, with some parts in C for performance or to make embedding into C programs easier.

Focus

CHICKEN's focus is immediately clear from its tagline: "A practical and portable Scheme system".

CHICKEN's main focus is the practical application of Scheme for writing "real-world" software. Scheme is well known for its use in computer science curricula and programming language experimentation, but it hasn't seen much use in business and industry. CHICKEN's community has produced a large set of libraries for performing a variety of tasks. The CHICKEN wiki (the software running it is also a CHICKEN program) also contains a list of software that people have written in CHICKEN.

CHICKEN's other goal is to be portable. By compiling to portable C (like Gambit and Bigloo), programs written in CHICKEN can be compiled for common popular platforms like Linux, Mac OS X and other Unix-like systems as well as Windows, Haiku and the mobile platforms iOS and Android. It also has built-in support for cross-compilation of programs and extensions, which allows it to be used on various embedded platforms.

Innviertel

The Innviertel (literally German for "Inn quarter") is a traditional Austrian region south-east of the Inn river. It forms the western part of the state of Upper Austria and borders the German state of Bavaria. The Innviertel is one of the four traditional "quarters" of Upper Austria, the others being Hausruckviertel, Mühlviertel, and Traunviertel.

Geography

The quarter spans the Austrian political districts of Schärding, Ried im Innkreis and Braunau am Inn. Major towns in Innviertel include the district capitals Braunau am Inn, Ried im Innkreis and Schärding as well as Mattighofen and Altheim.

Located within the Alpine foothills, the rural Innviertel is approximately 2250 km² in area and comprises the broad Inn valley, which is largely flat and fertile, and the adjacent undulating landscape in the east, which is rich in granite in the north and coal.

History

Since the Early Middle Ages the region had belonged to the German stem duchy of Bavaria and was called Innbaiern. Administered from the town of Burghausen, the lands beyond the Inn river for centuries had two important roles: strategically as an eastern defence line against the rising Archduchy of Austria, and economically as arable land for crop farming. In the course of the Bavarian People's Uprising against the occupation by the Habsburg Emperor Joseph I, the short-lived Braunau Parliament convened in 1705, an early occurrence of a parliamentary system in the Holy Roman Empire.
