I do have the MIT Press Lisp 1.5 manual and McCarthy's two papers on
Lisp. I more or less don't like Common Lisp -- it's just too bloated. So
I think I'm more a Schemer now.

Which dialect? I've gotten into Chicken lately and it's very pleasant to use.

I haven't settled on an implementation yet. Chicken is a good one, but
PLT has an excellent user interface (Dr Scheme), gambit-c has the
Erlang-like Termite for concurrent programming, Guile is ubiquitous, and
I think there is another one that's the fastest available because it has
the best compiler. At one point last year I installed all of the ones in
Gentoo's Portage repository to have a shootout, but I got nudged back
into Ruby shortly afterwards.

I think when all the smoke clears, it will be Gambit, though, because of
Termite. They're on the edge of a major release -- I think they're at
release candidate stage now.

oops I guess there is no language called cppi, so that will just add
to C/C++ score :(

Stalin, but it's R4RS and seems to be more an academic research
project than anything that has an actual community around it. The USP
is that it does whole-program optimisation.

I installed *every* Scheme that Gentoo has to offer this morning. That
gave me:

bigloo
chicken
drscheme
elk
gambit
gauche
guile
mit-scheme
scheme48
scm
stklos
tinyscheme

Sorry that Stalin isn't there. Well ... actually ... not really, given
that I'm a raging fan of Shostakovich. :)
