And yet I'm still too stupid to understand the macro system. Oh well. I also didn't know there was a Chez version. Racket already has a native AOT compiler, right? What would the advantage be to run on Chez, faster or smaller compiled code?
As opposed to the larger group who think they understand them. I was once in that group, but now I've just given up.
Unlike most minimalist LISP languages with a community of individual hackers who each have their own macros and packages, this one is battery included while still being the most flexible with the #lang header. Seriously, it comes with awesome data structures (actuelly more than Python).
The only thing that prevents me from using it as much as Python or C++ is the lack of tools for major editors. DrRacket is NOT ok, I would like a langserver and vscode extension so badly! When I have a bit of free time and have finished other projects with a higher priority, I'll definitely give it a try. (yes I'm aware there are some langservers but none of them is really production ready)

I really wish there was a standard Scheme that compiled to native for all desktop and mobile OS'es and also supported multi-threading. Does anyone know about one ?

tags and uses a monospace font (Inconsolata). It is curious that a project that cites Matthew Butterick as a contributor should make such poor decisions about typography, especially when the rest of the documentation is above average in that area.
