I know how you feel James. I've been bashing away with Gambit for the last 18 months and whilst it's a great Scheme there's just too much missing. I wanted to build web apps, first there was no CGI library - luckily Black Hole came along, then there was no database library so I ended up writing a pure Scheme MySQL library because you couldn't call out to C without stopping all of your Gambit threads. As a bare minimum, it needs proper modules, it needs to be properly multithreaded and it needs more than about 6 people on the planet writing libraries for it. I've since switched to Haskell which has proper modules, proper multithreading and lots of libraries and may even be a better language than Scheme - if I could only understand what a monad is :-)
