Chez Scheme Cisco Systems, Inc.

Chez Scheme is a powerful programming language and its implementation, designed to provide developers with a robust environment for building efficient, scalable, and maintainable applications. As a superset of the Revised⁶ Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme (R6RS), Chez Scheme supports all standard Scheme features while adding extensive extensions for modern software development.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive Language Support: Implements R6RS with additional language extensions, including first-class procedures, hygienic macros, and support for multiple threads.
• Optimized Compilation: Produces high-performance machine code, with optimizations across library boundaries and the ability to perform whole-program compilation.
• Runtime System: Includes automatic memory management (generational garbage collection), Unicode I/O, and dynamic program generation at runtime.
• Interoperability: Extensive support for interfacing with C and other languages, enabling seamless integration with existing codebases.
• Development Tools: Features a source-level debugger, profiling tools, and an interactive shell for productive development.

Ideal for developers, researchers, and educators seeking a flexible and efficient programming environment. Chez Scheme is particularly beneficial for those working on high-performance applications, embedded systems, or projects requiring deep integration with C and other languages. Its comprehensive documentation and tooling support make it accessible for both learning and production use. Available via winget for easy installation.
