(Mostly just hoisting Noel Welsh's comment to the top level) How will the expected upcoming move of Racket to the use of Chez affect the comparison between Gerb

  I am super excited for Chez. If we see the speed we are look at a possible doubling in speed. There is certainly a reason why he has stuck with Gambit and not my beloved Racket. This seems perfect for using Racket's macros. I just don't know Gambit's Macros well enough to compare them to Racket. Here is the Bench Marks for Chez, Racket and Gambit https://ecraven.github.io/r7rs-benchmarks/ https://ecraven.github.io/r7rs-benchmarks/

  No way!!! Holy crap balls will this get interesting. To be clear, is this what mflatt's racket7 repo is all about!? This is what I found from quick Googling. https://github.com/racket/racket7 https://github.com/racket/racket7 Is this like research work like Pycket (Racket on PyPy) or is this a blessed project and Rackets official implementation will cut over

    It's the official goal of Racket to be based on Chez in the next couple years: > TL;DR: I expect the main Racket distribution to run on Chez Scheme instead of the current Racket VM sometime in the next couple of years. https://groups.google.com/d/msg/racket-dev/2BV3ElyfF8Y/4RSd3XbECAAJ https://groups.google.com/d/msg/racket-dev/2BV3ElyfF8Y/4RSd3...
