Goals: high consistency; improve language's functional nature; consistency with lambda calculus; optimize, but not at cost of other goals. Bigloo System with one goal: enable Scheme programming style where C(++) is usually needed; makes Scheme practical via features found in most normal languages but not Scheme and functional programming. Generators for C code, Java Virtual Machine, .NET bytecode. [Open Source, GPL] Chez Scheme Reliable, high performance implementation, by Cadence Research Systems. Free version exists.
