Scheme is primarily a functional programming language. It shares many characteristics with other members of the Lisp programming language family. Scheme's very simple syntax is based on s-expressions, parenthesized lists in which a prefix operator is followed by its arguments. Scheme programs thus consist of sequences of nested lists.
Teach Yourself Scheme in Fixnum Days is an introductory book by Dorai Sitaram on the Scheme programming language using the Racket Scheme implementation. It is intended as a quick-start guide for novices. [1] It works as a concise tutorial of the Scheme language. [2]
It is written in the language C, by Aubrey Jaffer, the author of the SLIB Scheme library and the JACAL interactive computer algebra (symbolic mathematics) program. It conforms to the standards R4RS, R5RS, and IEEE P1178. It is free and open-source software released under a GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). [1]
JScheme is an implementation of the Scheme programming language, created by Kenneth R. Anderson, Timothy J. Hickey and Peter Norvig [1], which is almost compliant with the R4RS Scheme standard and which has an interface to Java. Distributed under the licence of zlib/libpng, JScheme is free software.
GNU Ubiquitous Intelligent Language for Extensions [3] (GNU Guile) is the preferred extension language system for the GNU Project [4] and features an implementation of the programming language Scheme. Its first version was released in 1993. [1]
Scheme was the first dialect of Lisp to choose lexical scope. It was also one of the first programming languages after Reynold's Definitional Language [15] to support first-class continuations. It had a large impact on the effort that led to the development of its sister-language, Common Lisp, to which Guy Steele was a contributor. [16]

STklos is a Scheme implementation that succeeded STk. It is a bytecode compiler with an ad hoc virtual machine which aims to be fast as well as light. STklos is free software, released under the GNU General Public License. In addition to implementing most of R 5 RS, and a large part of R 7 RS, STklos supports:
