I think Chicken[1] is a very attractive Scheme alternative. It's full-featured, fast, compiles down to C, has a very nice library (egg) system, and a relatively large and active user community (as far as Schemes go). [1] - http://call-cc.org/ http://call-cc.org/

Hear, hear; I've been using Chicken for commercial and personal projects for about five years now. It keeps getting better. Occasionally, Racket has a package that I'd like to port (e.g. datalog); but I find it otherwise overbearing. Chicken has found some local maximum of efficiency and availability of useful libraries.
