How does Chez Scheme compare vs. CHICKEN Scheme? For a layman, they both seem to compile to binary; Chicken via C, Chez maybe not? Which one has a bigget community?

Also, do you know of any static typing extension for Chez?

Chez is compile direct to Native Code

Chicken has much more library and bigger community.

BUT...

Chez is the only commercial compiler (before open source) and very stable and fast...

Chez is by far the fastest of all, similar to LuaJIT. Chicken has more libs.

Static? no, maybe Stalin works on Chez
