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
