I am currently making a r7rs scheme derivative that compiles to C. The lofty goal is parallel fibers.
It's in extreme early stages, and I don't expect anyone will use it other than me, but I already like it. The compiler has been self hosted for a few months now. It has a cool FFI that you can see in use in the demos folder. Working on adding header generation to the module system.
While Chicken Scheme is cool, I don't think it'll be parallel, and not in the way I want it to be, and I am willing to make a lot of compromises Chicken isn't to get there. As mentioned, I am willing to settle with fibers for parallelism, and heavily eschewing side effects, making changes from r7rs to get there. For example, there will be no dynamic-wind provided and parameter objects will have different, thread friendlier, semantics.

I'm long time fan of programming languages that compiles to C hoping that one day will fall in love with one endlessly! :-)
I have a toy language I play around with that's just in specifications stage. Not mine but an interesting compile-to-c language: https://github.com/koka-lang/koka. Functional, effects, no-GC.
