Transparens: a pandoc-like program for translating Scheme code between implementations
That is not happenning anytime soon, see https://github.com/cisco/ChezScheme/issues/574; And even without getting a clear green go from big schemers. Getting together a common C FFI Domain Specific Language, and implementing that for the Scheme that are nowadays popular or in-use will advance the subject. See https://github.com/ktakashi/r6rs-pffi. I will not hold my breath.

Racket branch of Chez Scheme merging with mainline Chez Scheme
The main line of Chez Scheme is here:

There is more work to be done before release 10.0.

Not only Clojure – Chez Scheme: Lisp with native code speed
What is yakihonne? Another blogging platform? Rather confusing to use.
Anyway, would have been nice for the article to link to Chez Scheme project's page, which seems to be this one:
https://github.com/cisco/ChezScheme
Also not clear why should folks use Chez? The article barely covered the why or what successful apps have been written in Chez.

My resignation letter as R7RS-large chair
Who will convince Kent to come back and make r6.1rs? https://github.com/cisco/ChezScheme/issues/574
If you want a large language, isn't it a better idea to build it on top of something the makes better guarantees for the user? I prefer my program to not continue executing after reaching an erroneous state.

Why does GUIX use guile if chez 20x faster + a bunch of other reasons?
So far as I know Chez is not a variation on Guile, it's a scheme implementation similar to Guile, and so far that I can see Guile is more active, with more community and more package ecosystem , and looks like Chez is/was a cisco project, not sure how is the development process there, but Guile looks like more active in terms of commits https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git, the last one in "main" is 3 weeks ago vs may 23 https://github.com/cisco/ChezScheme/commits/main.

Are there any notable software projects done by traditionally non-software companies?
The link doesn't work for me but to answer the title, I found it interesting to learn that Chez Scheme (often regarded as the Scheme implementation which produces the fastest programs) is developed by Cisco, the company that makes networking hardware

Is anyone doing Advent of Code in R7RS this year?
Göran is spot on. I am sad that Marc's proposal on the chez tracker has seemingly died: https://github.com/cisco/ChezScheme/issues/574

Unable to install Chez Scheme, I'm lost 🙃. Can you illustrate me on how to do this because I have tried for a couple hours and I don't have time to waste so I guess is better if I ask step by step the meaning of all of this
Download the exe from here

GitHub Copilot investigation
Many open source project don't allow contributions from people that have worked with similar projects with incompatible licenses. I remember https://github.com/cisco/ChezScheme/pull/376#issuecomment-45... and https://wiki.winehq.org/Developer_FAQ#Copyright_Issues
What are some alternatives?
When comparing r6rs-pffi and ChezScheme you can also consider the following projects:
nanopass-framework-scheme - The new nanopass framework; an embedded DSL for writing compilers in Scheme
racket-markdown-blog - This repository contains another attempt of writing a blog. The blog's "engine" is written in Racket. There is a Dockerfile which can be used to run the blog inside a Docker container, to ease deployment.
