   • The Forth programming language

   @roka @awg "multiple" is sort of an understatement. It feels like the only language that has more implementations is !forth . :-)
   
   Many people like #racket, as it has an IDE that is very helpful to newcomers. #Chez is performant and complete. I quite like #guile as it's GNU, used for #guix and has some intriguing new async stuff I'd like to play with.
   
   A decade ago when I did #SICP in uni, the course recommended Racket (then Dr Scheme) or MIT Scheme, but I used Guile because it had a very POSIX-y and familiar command line and I wrote my lab exercises with Makefiles running the tests.
   
   Back then I also had a look at #gauche (also very script-y and POSIX-y) and #scheme48, which integrates well with SMILE in emacs. These days there's #geiser for guile, which is likely to be the best emacs+Scheme interactive mode out there.
   
   As far as I'm concerned, https://wingolog.org/archives/2013/01/07/an-opinionated-guide-to-scheme-implementations is the canonical "which scheme?" page.

     @roka @awg Jumping in: Yes. Always operator/function first, then operands/parameters.

     @awg I'm surprised there is even a standard. :-)

     @awg Nice! Will have to find anecdotes about this.
     
     I think I have been assuming that this was the work of some industry people that insisted on a standard for some of their purposes, and that the community was regarding it as "yeah, whatever, let them play their games.".

     @awg @roka Right! Chez was only liberated a year ago (looks like around May 2016). Thanks for clarifying that.

     @roka @awg Speaking of a lot of schemes:

     Sagittarius is pretty funny. I think it's just made by this one Japanese student (a lot of Schemes seem to be written by solitary Japanese students), but I think it implements more SRFIs than any other Scheme.
