Some excellent comments there.
Looking around a bit, I came across a couple of implementations that might be of interest for those wanting to mash up "some kind of system programming" and "scheme": Bigloo (interpret / compile to executables, java byte code or experimentally dot.net) and larceny (interpret / direct compile to machine code / optionally via c):

- metaobject 9y agoI used Bigloo years ago to build Scheme bindings to a few of our C applications and libraries. It's so much more fun to script your applications - similar to how your can/could script The Gimp with SIOD (Scheme in one Defun) Scheme.
- WindowsFon4life 9y agoTry building a modern project in either. Anything non-trivial will highlight where Gerbil stands out.
- e12e 9y agoI'd be happy to see some example non-trivial, new(ish) projects in any scheme, actually. Hop looks like one such project, I don't know if gerbil would be better as an underpinning than Bigloo? https://github.com/manuel-serrano/hop https://github.com/manuel-serrano/hop
- cat199 9y agoChicken Scheme https://www.call-cc.org/ https://www.call-cc.org/ is another good one - compiles to binary, many libraries (eggs)
- ClFromEmacs 9y agoAnd can't compete in speed. But does have more libraries.
