Link to chicken disambiguation page
editI don't think there is any need. It's not like you can get to this page by accident looking for some other thing called chicken. Maybe I'm missing something? --MarSch 10:11, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
MTA song
editapparently it is relevant, unfortunately it isn't immegdiately clear why. Could someone make this clear? --MarSch 10:29, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- From the "Popular culture" section:
--144.32.177.112 11:05, 5 May 2007 (UTC)The computer scientist Henry Baker references the song in his paper CONS Should Not CONS Its Arguments, Part II: Cheney on the M.T.A., which describes a way of implementing Cheney's algorithm using C functions that, like Charlie, never return.
- Yes, it took me a minute of two to see how apposite this was to Chicken's implementation of Scheme. This only dawned after I had removed it from the article. --Tony Sidaway 11:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
"Prepackaged egg" ?
editI eventually found this page when trying to figure out what the trac documentation meant by "prepackaged egg". I only think this is even the relevant page; I'm completely unfamiliar with chicken and *.egg.
- that's not chicken's trac site... --MarSch (talk) 06:45, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
So... perhaps someone could add the phrase "prepackaged egg" and a description of what it's called that?
- Do the chicken docs say it is called a "prepackaged egg"? --MarSch (talk) 06:45, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Finding anything about this was made more difficult by the fact that eggs-in-a-carton are also called "prepackaged eggs". <grumble>never mind that they should be called repackaged eggs...</grumble> Complex.confusion (talk) 16:15, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's developerese. If you don't have the source code for an egg, it's "prepackaged". The meaning isn't obvious to non-developers. --TS 19:43, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Old limitations
editI removed two older limitations (absence of the numerical tower, absence of hygienic macros) that are no longer documented on the website. --TS 18:30, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
