Author here; thanks for the feedback. The path to Scheme was a bit haphazard - I got into Clojure a few years ago after exposure to some nice Clojure-based tools at work, and then worked on implementing several classical machine learning techniques in Clojure for fun. When I came up with the idea of chaining and piping neural network layers on the command line, I also came across CHICKEN Scheme which promised to be portable and well-suited for translating the Clojure-based implementation I had previously done. As you can probably imagine, the porting process was a lot more involved than I expected, but nevertheless I had a BLASt (pun intended) hacking on it.
