Three Implementation Models for Scheme (1987) [pdf] (legacy.cs.indiana.edu)
bjoli 16 hours ago [-]
Chez scheme is still around and is a pretty stellar piece of software. I have found that finding bugs in smaller language implementations is uncommon, but not rare. At least once you leave the happy path.

I have written well over 100k lines of scheme that runs on chez and I have had zero issues. The documentation is clear with good descriptions of even hairy topics like macro phasing and the module system.

Racket has replaced their C codebase with Chez Scheme, yet another success story.

Incredibly, they support OS X on PowerPC.

I know what Chez Scheme is, but I had not heard of this FFP machine before.
