Gambit, also called Gambit-C, is a free software Scheme implementation, consisting of a Scheme interpreter, and a compiler which compiles Scheme to C. Its documentation[1] claims conformance to the R4RS, R5RS, and IEEE standards, as well as several SRFIs. Gambit was first released 1988, and Gambit-C (that is, Gambit with the C backend) was first released 1994.
Termite Scheme
Termite Scheme is a Gambit Scheme module intended for distributed computing. It offers a simple and powerful concurrency model, inspired by Erlang, which is based on a message-passing model of concurrency.
C++ and Objective-C integration
While the compiler itself produces solely C code, it has full integration support for C++ and Objective-C compilers such as GCC. Thus, software written in Gambit can contain C++ or Objective-C code, and can fully integrate with corresponding libraries.
