Guile is a traditional scheme, its niche being scripting and extension of existing programs.

Racket is more batteries included, and comes with an IDE, a package manager and build tools. It self describes a a language creation platform and includes a typed language, a prolog like language and several learning languages, used in their book How To Design Programs.

I’ve used Racket at home and work and enjoy using it, but I prefer traditional Lisp syntax.
