     @csaurus @normandy seems to have a larger base. Guile is designed for a special purpose but does have e.g. networking, GUI. I'd say chicken.

     @csaurus @normandy I use Gauche, which tries to be a "practical scheme" (its site is literally practical-scheme.net), I find it capable.

     @taknamay That's cool, I will have to have a look. Do you find the R7RS provides a lot or it doesn't matter? I've been trying to come to grips with the different standards.

     @csaurus If you are just trying to learn, don't worry too much about R5/6/7RS. The fundamentals have not changed, and you will likely end up

     @csaurus @taknamay @normandy It is a not-irrelevant indicator that ther's a community that has enough spare time to spend it on web design.

     @csaurus @taknamay @normandy I'll tell https://identi.ca/cwebber the new design paid off in at least one case!
