-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.
+CHICKEN is a compiler for the Scheme programming language. It produces
+portable and efficient C and supports the R5RS and R7RS (work in
+progress) standards, and many extensions. It runs on Linux, OS X,
+Windows, many Unix flavours, and aims to be free, simple, portable,
+extensible, well documented, and actively supported.
+
Scheme is a member of the Lisp family of languages.
