CHICKEN is a Scheme programming language compiler that generates efficient C code, supporting R5RS and R7RS standards with various extensions. It is freely available under the BSD License, lightweight on dependencies, and runs on multiple platforms like Linux, OS X, Windows, and Unix variants. The compiler is extensible with numerous libraries accessible at Eggs Unlimited and allows for easy creation of new extensions. CHICKEN is well-documented through its Wiki, Manual, and API reference, offering detailed information on usage. It is actively supported through mailing lists and an IRC channel (#chicken on Libera.Chat). The provided code snippet demonstrates a simple "Hello, world!" program in CHICKEN, showcasing both interpreted and compiled execution.
