+define Package/chicken-scheme-interpreter/description
+  Chicken is an implementation of the Scheme language. It is portable, efficient, and supports 
+  the R5RS and R7RS (work in progress) standards, and many extensions.
+  Chicken can be used as a scripting language to automate tasks.
+  This package contains the interpreter, 'csi', only --
+  the compiler and the package installer are not included because they depend on a C compiler.
+  For more information, please refer to the Chicken Scheme website at https://call-cc.org.
