Best implementation for standalone + browser executable?
Wow, thanks a lot! I hit a snag running cyclone's repl on a M1 Mac, but found the fix here: https://github.com/justinethier/cyclone/issues/464

How to Detect a Cycle in a Linked List
When developing Cyclone Scheme I discovered the latest R7RS Scheme language specification requires that several procedures handle circular lists.

Which Scheme for compiling C to use in WASM?
Cyclone Scheme transpiles to C and can run in the browser using WASM.

Tail Call Optimization by Base Jumping off the Stack
Over the years various solutions have been developed to meet this requirement such as trampolines, goto's, compiler optimizations, etc. One of the most unusual was proposed by Henry Baker in his paper CONS Should Not CONS Its Arguments, Part II: Cheney on the M.T.A. (PDF).

If you had to pick a Scheme to write a standalone application which would you choose?
Gambit, and consequently Gerbil, are not very mature and still need a bit more of a environment. Stklos could also be interesting, as well as Cyclone.

If you had to pick a Scheme to write a standalone application which would you choose?
Racket is best suited for this task (if you count it as a Scheme). I used it in the distant past for a shareware application. However, deployment is hard because Racket does not have reasonable deployment and packaging tools. For example, it's hard to get all program and document icons correct on all platforms. I attempted to make a remedy for that situation https://github.com/rasteric/appy but wasn't happy with the result and have abandoned that project. Most of my development is in Go by now anyway.
