Good interview, informative and reveals something of the character of the individual. Better writing than typical for interviews of this sort.

But I'm biased. I've used Chicken Scheme for a few years. For the most part, it's been a gratifying experience. For me, Chicken's easy to use and sensible FFI is big part of the reason. The language more than not works for what I aim to achieve.

The Chicken community supports newcomers and old hands when they need it. Harsh responses to queries are rare. As online communities go, it's about as good as it gets.
