Chicken Scheme

Chicken Scheme is an R5RS compliant compiler for the Scheme programming language. It produces C code as output.

Chicken Scheme is implemented in C, using Henry Baker's "Cheney on the MTA" algorithm which uses the C stack pointer as it's garbage collection allocation pointer.

Chicken Scheme uses libraries called eggs as well as SRFIs.
