Re: [Chicken-hackers] Made a start with CHICKEN 5 proposal

[Ivan Raikov]

I think these are lofty goals, but it is way too much work for a single release.

Perhaps modularising the compiler and refactoring the core modules should be the goals for 5.0 release,
and points 1.3-1.8 would be done as 5.x releases leading up to 6.0.

As for library names, I favor fully spelled out names instead of abbreviations, i.e. chicken.fixnum, chicken.flonum, etc.

Also, shouldn't it be CHICKEN.fixnum now that we are using the FORTRAN convention? ;-)

Hello hackers!

I've made a start on the wiki, at what we'd like CHICKEN 5 to be about.
Please, do not make this into another "pony page", only add things that
we really need to look at which require a rework in core which may be
backwards-incompatible.

http://wiki.call-cc.org/chicken-5-roadmap

I already fear I may have gone a bit overboard with adding too many
things I'd really like to see myself :)

I'd especially appreciate feedback on the core library names and
the things to kill from core.  I will be expanding this page over the
next few days/weeks.

Cheers,
Peter
