Here are some random links collected the past few days, mostly about Scheme and related languages/tools.

Various scientific packages for Chicken Scheme:

• iraikov/chicken-dataframe, so we get some useful data structure like in Racket.
• raikov/chicken-mpi, some MPI bindings for Chicken Scheme.
• iraikov/chicken-lapack, Chicken Scheme bindings for ATLAS and LAPACK; looks old but maybe it is worth a try.
• dieggsy/csl, the mandatory toolbox for rapid prototyping; must check if everything is included.

Others:

• Essentials of Programming Languages Language in Racket (see chenyukang/eopl for Chicken solutions).
• The Scheme and Functional Programming Workshop for 2020.
• Lispy in Scheme
• Getting started with Scheme by solving an Advent of Code 2018 challenge
• Chez Scheme vs. SBCL: a comparison
• Fun with speech synthesis and Chicken Scheme
• Scheme-ing

Lisp is a great language and you too can trust it if you write numerical programs of 5000 lines or less. You can probably trust it for other tasks as well but I don’t have such an experience with Lisp. Please tell the world that Lisp is a great language for numerical/statistical analysis. Those who dismiss it are wrong. There’s absolutely no reason to not give it a trial. I am not afraid to admit that I’ve used Lisp for real work
