+chicken is a compiler that translates Scheme source files into C,
+which in turn can be fed to a C compiler to generate a standalone
+executable. An interpreter is also available and can be used as a
+scripting environment or for test programs before compilation.
+Scheme is a member of the Lisp family of languages.
