...The rest of the Racket distribution source code is in other repositories, mostly under the Racket GitHub organization. Racket programmers typically program with functions, records, objects, exceptions, regular expressions, modules, and threads. That is, instead of a “minimalist” language, which is the way that Scheme is often described, Racket offers a rich language with an extensive set of libraries and tools. Libraries are not restricted to exporting values, such as functions; they can also define new syntactic forms. ...

...Build real-world applications using functional techniques and expressive types, such as: Algebraic data types and pattern matching. Row polymorphism and extensible records. Higher kinded types and type classes with functional dependencies, as well as higher-rank polymorphism. Precompiled binaries are available for OSX, Linux, and Windows. The Pursuit package database hosts searchable documentation for PureScript packages. The recommended build tool for PureScript is Spago, which can be installed using npm.

...As a superset of the language described in the Revised6 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme (R6RS), Chez Scheme supports all standard features of Scheme, including first-class procedures, proper treatment of tail calls, continuations, user-defined records, libraries, exceptions, and hygienic macro expansion. The Chez Scheme implementation consists of a compiler, run-time system, and programming environment. Although an interpreter is available, all code is compiled by default. Source code is compiled on-the-fly when loaded from a source file or entered via the shell. A source file can also be precompiled into a stored binary form and automatically recompiled when its dependencies change. ...
