Chez Scheme is a high-performance implementation of the Scheme programming language, serving as a superset of R6RS with its own compiler, runtime system, and programming environment. It compiles all code to optimized machine code on the fly or ahead of time, and runs on a wide range of platforms including Windows, macOS, Linux, BSDs, mobile OSes, and WebAssembly.
Use cases
- write fast scheme programs
- learn the scheme programming language
- compile scheme to native machine code
- embed a scheme interpreter in a C application
- run scheme on embedded or mobile platforms
- experiment with hygienic macros and continuations
When to choose
- you need a fast, industrial-strength Scheme with a mature optimizing compiler
- you want full R6RS compliance plus extensions like threads and a C FFI
- you need Scheme on unusual platforms like WebAssembly, Android, or the BSDs
When to avoid
- you need a language with a large general-purpose ecosystem and package manager
- you want a beginner-friendly mainstream language with abundant libraries
- you need tight integration with modern web or mobile app frameworks
