Larceny is an implementation of the Scheme programming language built around the Twobit optimizing compiler[1][2]. Larceny offers several back-ends able to target native x86 and ARMv7 code[3] . Petit Larceny is also available and emits C source code, which can then be further compiled to native code with an ordinary C compiler[4].

Older versions (<0.98) included support for the SPARC architecture in Larceny[3], and for Microsoft's Common Language Runtime via Common Larceny[5].

Larceny supports all major Scheme standards (R5RS, IEEE/ANSI, R6RS, and R7RS[1]. The Larceny software is open source[6] and available online[3][4][5].
