 In my mind, Chicken is the best Scheme implementation. Its compiler compiles to C in the most ingenious way, it has the simplest interface to C, and it has a beautiful infrastructure, the eggs system, a helpful community and, and, and ...
 
-=== Eggs
+=== Chicken 5 Eggs
+
+==== [[/eggref/5/bindings|bindings]]
+
+A light-weight alternative to the matchable egg, with many enhancements.
+
+A number of binding macros is provided, which can destructure arbitrary
+mixtures of lists, pseudolists, vectors and strings, as well as
+arbitrary sequence types, the client may add later. The most important
+one is bind, a variant of Common Lisp's destructuring-bind.
+
+==== [[/eggref/5/holes|holes]]
+
+Transform expressions with holes into procedures with the holes as
+argument names. Here, a hole is symbol, consisting of zero or more
+digits enclosed in bangs.
+
+==== [[/eggref/5/list-comprehensions|list-comprehensions]]
+
+Some list creating procedures, in particular a variant of
+Clojure's for macro
+
+==== [[/eggref/5/simple-cells|simple-cells]]
+
+Another simple implementation of the cell datatype, a lightweight variant of
+boxes.
+
+==== [[/eggref/5/simple-exceptions|simple-exceptions]]
+
+An easy to use exception wrapper around chicken's condition system.
+
+==== [[/eggref/5/simple-tests|simple-tests]]
+
+Some simple macros and commands which help debugging and testing.
+
+=== Chicken 4 Eggs
+
+These eggs will no longer be maintained.
+Most of them will be ported to Chiken 5.
