Gambit, also called Gambit-C, is a free software Scheme implementation, consisting of a Scheme interpreter, and a compiler which compiles Scheme to C. Its documentation [1] claims conformance to the R4RS, R5RS, and IEEE standards, as well as several SRFIs.
[edit] Termite Scheme
Termite Scheme is a variant of Gambit Scheme intended for distributed computing. It offers a simple and powerful concurrency model, inspired by Erlang, which is based on a message-passing model of concurrency.
