In many benchmarks, Racket is significantly faster than many other Scheme implementations, including Chicken: https://ecraven.github.io/r7rs-benchmarks/ https://ecraven.github.io/r7rs-benchmarks/ This is because it is now based on Chez.
It is certainly not compact, though.
- cheshire_cat 2mo agoWould be interesting to see how Crunch [0][1] does on that benchmark. Any plans to add it to the benchmark?

- drannex 2mo agoRacket may be significant faster than many, esp since transitioning to Chez, but its still very hard/problematic to compile to a binary, and if wrapped into a binary still very bloated in size. FWIW: I enjoy working with Gambit, especially since it can compile to C and standalone binaries and also scores even higher than Racket.
