Re: [Chicken-hackers] CHICKEN in production

[Kristian Lein-Mathisen]

We had several problems with controling external processes too. And that with-input-from-pipe blocks other srfi-18 threads is a problem. If I remember correctly, process-run has a bug in it (with a workaround here) too, I don't know if they are related to your problems, Oleg. The fact that you need to "garbage collect" processes with process-wait is also a little painful.

Is this something you find useful to have in general? Maybe we can
discuss your diffs if your contract permits that?

Congratulations to your success and product launch!
