Re: [Chicken-users] Homepage design proposal

[Bahman Movaqar]

I strongly disagree with using CHICKEN for the website. Let's keep things simple by using the right tool for the job.

These days there are some good static website generators out there, like JBake and Jekyll, with which one can use HTML or asciidoc or Markdown to generate a static website. Hosting these kind of websites is extremely cheap: they only need HTML (no PHP or .NET or anything). And they are very fast. The website content can be version'ed on a git repository and regenerated and copied to the web-server upon a git push.

Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, that makes sense. I guess we're stuck with a server-side solution unless we can get Chicken running on this little emulator. repl.it may be of inspiration!

Thanks,

Has anybody played with the idea of compiling CHICKEN with emscripten? That way, we could have a client-side REPL to experiment with on the homepage.

As far as I could understand it, one does not simply compile CHICKEN using emscripten because of setjmp/longjmp (according to this page: http://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/docs/porting/guidelines/portability_guidelines.html) without special porting.

Thanks,
Yaroslav
