If Chicken Scheme's output is anything like Gambit-C's, that won't fly: it's a dump of internal data structures into syntactically valid C, not something that a human would write or even understand.

Out of curiosity, do you happen to have chicken scheme working on the iphone? I've been developing a 3d engine with it for the past few days with the intention of porting it to the iphone, so if you have some progress already, that would be awesome.

...or would have been, before this announcement. Ouch.

Or LOOM/Stella - Java/C++/Common Lisp - http://www.isi.edu/isd/LOOM/Stella/ -

"When we embarked on the task of developing PowerLoom® which had to be delivered in C++, we were faced with exactly this problem. Our response was to invent a new programming language, called STELLA, that incorporates those aspects of Common Lisp that we deemed essential into a language that can still be translated into efficient, conventional and readable C++ and Java code."

If everybody's C starts to look like what Chicken Scheme generates then you've (Apple) just detected Chicken Scheme.
