Chez Scheme is both a programming language and an implementation of that language, with supporting tools and documentation. As a superset of the language described in the Revised6 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme (R6RS), Chez Scheme supports all standard features of Scheme, including first-class procedures, proper treatment of tail calls, continuations, user-defined records, libraries, exceptions, and hygienic macro expansion.

That is, instead of a “minimalist” language, which is the way that Scheme is often described, Racket offers a rich language with an extensive set of libraries and tools. Libraries are not restricted to exporting values, such as functions; they can also define new syntactic forms. In this sense, Racket isn’t exactly a language at all; it’s more of an idea for how to structure a language so that you can extend it or create entirely new languages.

JSchemePlus is an hack of Jscheme 1.4 by Peter Norvig. It allows to redistribute a script in an executable JAR file of only ~40K and implements all of R4RS with a lot of additional functions, like: (execute command) (random) (sequence from up-to step) (split list element) (string-split string sub-string) (read-all-from-file file) (write-to-file file data) (file-size file) etc... For the complete list read the HELP file or type (help). JSchemePlus needs only the Java Virtual Machine (version...
