• Which scheme to choose:

    From Alain De Vos@21:1/5 to All on Tue Nov 9 03:12:31 2021
    Following is a list of schemes available on Freebsd,

    chez-scheme-9.5.2 Chez Scheme system
    chibi-scheme-0.10.0 Minimal Scheme implementation for use as a C extension language
    chicken5-5.2.0 Scheme-to-C compiler
    elk-3.99.8_2 Embeddable Scheme interpreter
    gauche-0.9.10 Scheme script interpreter with multibyte character handling
    kawa-3.1.1 Java-based Scheme implementation mit-scheme-9.2_4 MIT Scheme: includes runtime, compiler, and edwin binaries
    mosh-scheme-0.2.7_6 Fast R6RS Scheme interpreter
    owl-lisp-0.1.23 Functional dialect of Scheme
    qscheme-0.5.1_10 Small and fast Scheme interpreter
    racket-8.2 Interactive, integrated, graphical Scheme programming environment
    sagittarius-scheme-0.9.7 R6RS/R7RS Scheme system
    scm-5f2_10 Scheme interpreter
    siod-3.6.2 Small footprint implementation of the Scheme programming language
    sketchy-20070218_1 Interpreter for purely applicative Scheme slib-3b6 Portable scheme library
    ypsilon-0.9.6.3_11 Scheme implementation for real-time applications

    One scheme will be better for a certain task then another.
    Feel free to elaborate.

    I restarted my work on (a small) Scheme comparator app at https://scheme.rs/comparator (code at https://sr.ht/~amirouche/scheme.rs/)

    Please let me know whether the current grid at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/scheme-comparator (copied below) is good?

    Also, please share flag specification for your favorite Scheme implementation(s), preferably in the above etherpad link.

    # scheme.rs/comparator

    Grid to compare different Scheme implementations.

    - https://scheme.rs/comparator/
    - https://wingolog.org/archives/2013/01/07/an-opinionated-guide-to-scheme-implementations

    Upon what characteristics should the comparison be done?

    1. R7RS
    2. R6RS
    3. TOP5 wall-clock-time (ecraven's benchmarks)
    4. C Foreign Function Interface
    5. Make binary executable
    6. C embedding
    7. Dedicated editor or IDE
    8. SICP
    9. server side webdev
    10. browser side webdev
    11. Microsoft Windows support
    12. LISP Machine

    I made progress checkout the links above (it is also much faster to load thanks to http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/5/spock)
