Chez Scheme is a complete implementation of the language of the
Revised^6 Report on Scheme (R6RS), with numerous extensions.
It sports a fast compiler that generates native code for x86,
x86_64,and 32-bit PowerPC architectures.
Formerly a commercial product, it was open-sourced by Cisco Systems
in April 2016.

The unthreaded version is built by default, but enabling support for
multithreading is easy:
  THREADED=yes sh ./ChezScheme.SlackBuild

The full testing battery can also be run after the build completes:
  TEST=yes sh ./ChezScheme.SlackBuild
