Metacode vs Chicken Scheme: What are the differences?

Developers describe Metacode as "The fastest way to navigate and understand code". It is an advanced code filtering tool. Filter your codebase with automatically detected keywords. Avoid clicking through files to inspect each match. Results show their surrounding code, all on one page. On the other hand, Chicken Scheme is detailed as "A programming language, specifically a compiler and interpreter". Fast implementation of Scheme programming languge, which compiles directly to C.

Metacode and Chicken Scheme are primarily classified as "Code Search" and "Languages" tools respectively.

Some of the features offered by Metacode are:

  • Search results sorted by relevance
  • Search results with context
  • Advanced code filtering

On the other hand, Chicken Scheme provides the following key features:

  • Fast
  • Lisp
  • Minimal

Chicken Scheme is an open source tool with 77 GitHub stars and 3 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Chicken Scheme's open source repository on GitHub.

What are some alternatives to Chicken Scheme and Metacode?
Racket
It is a general-purpose, multi-paradigm programming language based on the Scheme dialect of Lisp. It is designed to be a platform for programming language design and implementation. It is also used for scripting, computer science education, and research.
Common Lisp
Lisp was originally created as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs, influenced by the notation of Alonzo Church's lambda calculus. It quickly became the favored programming language for artificial intelligence (AI) research. As one of the earliest programming languages, Lisp pioneered many ideas in computer science, including tree data structures, automatic storage management, dynamic typing, conditionals, higher-order functions, recursion, and the self-hosting compiler. [source: wikipedia]
Clojure
Clojure is designed to be a general-purpose language, combining the approachability and interactive development of a scripting language with an efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming. Clojure is a compiled language - it compiles directly to JVM bytecode, yet remains completely dynamic. Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, and shares with Lisp the code-as-data philosophy and a powerful macro system.
Haskell
It is a general purpose language that can be used in any domain and use case, it is ideally suited for proprietary business logic and data analysis, fast prototyping and enhancing existing software environments with correct code, performance and scalability.
JavaScript
JavaScript is most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic,and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.
