For Chicken Scheme - https://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/awk -- Originally by Olin Shivers. This implementation has been taken from PLT Scheme's awk library and minimally modified by felix winkelmann to work with CHICKEN.

For SIOD - http://charles.lehalle.free.fr/tools.html -- by Charles-Albert Lehalle

Wow, a comment... This project is like 10 years old. Still, it's nice to see someone reacting to it.

I think I originally wrote this in Chicken, actually... Then switched to Gauche, not sure why anymore. It's been a while! I am not even sure if this would still run under recent versions of Gauche. Like most of my projects, it was more of an experiment. Nowadays I would write one in Prolog, maybe. :)

Yeah :D The internet is funny like that.

We should probably produce one standard "Scheme awk". I don't have the spare cycles either, so this goes into "someday maybe" :) Still, it's nice to know where to start.

SNOBOL is also remembered fondly by many people who used it. It might be worth mining for ideas.
