i took a look at chicken recently as i was also looking for a scheme that could easily make (small, portable) binaries and share them. two things i found crazy so far: keyword arguments are formatted #!keyword in function definitions, and a module's functions are located in the body of a "module" call. i find the latter very confusing, when i edit a single function and evaluate it interactively, the entire wrapping module call is evaluated. i find this baffling. i feel like i'm being punished for wanting to do something simple.
