I would be interested in a list of (used/popular?) applications that are written in Scheme. I get the impression that a lot of Scheme code is in projects that never get published. I can easily name 5+ Scheme implementations that I heard of, but I don't know any prominent examples of software implemented in Scheme.

The Shepard init system[0] for Guix and most of the Guix plumbing are written in Guile Scheme. There's also Guile Emacs. [0]https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/ https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/

TeXmacs is an impressive project spanning several decades: https://www.texmacs.org https://www.texmacs.org It uses Guile as its scripting language and documents created within TeXmacs are represented as Scheme programs. In addition to providing a LaTeX-quality WYSIWYG editor experience for scientific documents, TeXmacs can also be used as a computer algebra front-end for packages like Mathics, which provides an open-source implementation of the Wolfram programming language used in Mathematica: https://mathics.org/ https://mathics.org/
