• - A portable, high-performance implementation of Scheme based on an optimizing compiler by Marc Feeley. Developed at University of Montreal.
  
• - Embeds Scheme in Common Lisp.
  
• - A R5RS Scheme interpreter which integrates with C, allowing calling of C functions and accessing C variables from Scheme. It provides a mechanism to load C shared libraries. It runs on x86 and PowerPC based Linux systems.
  
• - (new site) An embeddable, reusable extension language subsystem for applications written in C or C++. Elk is also a useful standalone Scheme implementation with interfaces to POSIX, Unix, and X11.
  
• - Ksi is a portable, embeddable Scheme implementation written in C. Unfortunately its documentation is all in Russian at this point.
  
• - A Scheme implementation. [Commercial]

• - A tiny implementation of Scheme based on MiniSCHEME. It provides almost complete coverage of R5RS Scheme. Geared towards embedded scripting use, but also functions as a standalone interpreter and extensible shell tool. Recent changes have gotten the exe
  
• - A simple and efficient run-time system for Scheme, currently running on the SPARC architecture. A portable implementation that generates C (dubbed "Petit Larceny") is also being developed.
  
• - A broad-spectrum systems-programming environment for Unix embedded in R5RS Scheme (actually within version 0.53 of Scheme48). Support for concurrent system programming, sophisticated I/O and automatic garbage collection for process resources.
  
• - A portable Scheme implementation written by Matthias Blume of Princeton University. No longer actively developed.
  
• - A portable scheme interpreter by Britt Park. Also other free software, including: Cdoc - a simple program to generate pretty TeX output from annotated c or c++ code; Userblock - a simple user space block device driver kit for Linux; UVFS - a user space fi
  
• - Small, embeddable, scripting PLT Scheme implementation: R5RS compliant, full numerical tower, threads (all platforms), exceptions, modules, class-based objects, regular-expression matching, TCP/IP. For Macintosh, Unix, Windows 32-bit.
  
• - Full Scheme programming environment for Macintosh, many Unixes, Windows. Has module and object systems, platform-independent graphics. Ideal for beginners; one of the major design goals is a flexible teaching environment.
  
• - An R5RS Scheme implementation developed to be a handy script interpreter. Quick startup, built-in system interface, native multilingual support. [Open source, BSD license]
  
• - Portable, extended Scheme with reflective object(-oriented) system, operating system services, modules, threads, many system programming features (integrates with, compiles to C or bytecodes) and useful extensions. [Open Source]
  
• - The FAQ for Scsh, the Scheme Shell.
  
• - An implementation of the Scheme language in OCaml. The primary purpose of Schoca is the use as an embedded extension language in OCaml applications. [Open source, GPL]
  
• - A nearly R5RS compliant Scheme compiler with multiple backends, currently including .NET, JVM, and C. [Public Domain]
  
• - From MIT, for many systems, has comprehensive code library, includes most functionality of ANSI Standard Common Lisp (CLtL2), many low-level OS interactions. Distributed with system is LIAR (LIAR Imitates Apply Recursively), optimizing compiler that outpu
  
• - A portable Scheme implementation written by Aubrey Jaffer.
  
• - Language designed and largely implemented, now a matter of coding, documenting. Goals: high consistency; improve language's functional nature; consistency with lambda calculus; optimize, but not at cost of other goals.
  
• - Derived from STkn implementation based on an ad-hoc virtual machine, byte compiler; compilable as library to embed in other programs, has object system with MOP, multiple inheritance, generic functions, multimethods, module system, full R5RS tower of numb
  
• - An lightweight implementation of Scheme in C++. [Open source, zlib license]
  
• - (old site, last update in 1997) An embeddable, reusable extension language subsystem for applications written in C or C++. Elk is also a useful standalone Scheme implementation with interfaces to POSIX, Unix, and X11.
  
• - A Scheme compiler which compiles a subset of R5RS into C. Uses the ideas presented in Baker's paper "Cheney on the MTA". It is highly portable, reasonably efficient and makes interfacing to C and C++ very easy.
  
• - A powerful optimizing Scheme compiler from Jeffery Mark Siskind at the NEC Research Institute. Sacrifices functions such as call/cc in favor of efficiency, but generated code is remarkably bulletproof and fast.
  
• - Very small, portable implementation, has some database, Unix programming, CGI scripting extensions. Runs on DOS, Linux, Unix, Windows. Free source downloads.
  
• - An interactive multithreaded Scheme interpreter with turtle graphics for Windows 95, based on SCM.
  
• - A Scheme interpreter implemented as a library which can be embedded into C programs, as well as a standalone interpreter. Mostly R5RS, Guile compatible, and includes regular expressions and most Posix functions.
  
• - A complete Scheme system that is fully compatible with Chez Scheme but uses high-speed threaded interpreter technology in place of Chez Scheme's incremental native-code compiler. [Freeware]
  
• - Even more Scheme implementations freely available from the Indiana U. repository.
  
• - Interpreter for Macintosh or Windows. Has "friendly and convenient interactive programming environment" with language sensitive editor, full documentation. [commercial, free 14 day download]
  
• - A superset of the Scheme dialect of Lisp with extensions to support object-oriented programming.
  
• - Two systems for Windows with built in "industrial-strength" solid modeler based on the ACIS solid modeler Geometric Modeling Kernel.
  
• - Scheme environment for Windows 3.1/95; interpreter independent, though defaults to Jaffer's SCM. Used at University of Lille 1, France, for introductory programming course. Free downloads. English, Française.
  
• - Fred Bayers home page is really the home of this Scheme for 3COM Pilot PDA systems: compiler and runtime system intended mainly as a tool to quickly try ideas and algorithms, but can write dialog-based applications.
  
• - Portable Scheme implementation, conforms to IEEE/ANSI standard, supports all features of R5RS Report, many features of Chez Scheme and various SRFIs. Derived from XScheme: object system dropped, many changes, additions.
  
• - A commercial Scheme which is freely available for non-commercial use on Linux and FreeBSD. It has support for several features like bitmap/greymap processing and can be used as a general tool for image processing, OCR or specialized optical object and pa
  
• - A list of Scheme implementations from the Scheme FAQ maintained by Mark Kantrowitz.
  
• - A distributed implementation of Scheme that permits efficient transmission of higher-order objects such as closures and continuations.
  
• - Advocacy and authoring group, umbrella name for family of implementations: DrScheme (Scheme, MzScheme, MrEd); books: How to Design Programs, How to Use Scheme; and TeachScheme! project. University-based, supported by many volunteers writing code, document
  
• - Statically-typed Scheme dialect, written in Infer, combines many of the best features of Scheme and ML. NSF funded.

• - A free R4RS Scheme interpreter which can access the Tk graphical package.
  
• - System with one goal: enable Scheme-based programming style where C(++) is usually needed; makes Scheme practical via features found in most traditional languages but not Scheme and functional programming. [Open Source, GPL]
  
• - A fast, small Scheme interpreter which is mostly compliant with the R5RS standard.
  
• - HTMLified by Margaret Fleck, one of the authors of Envision.
