I made some progress around my experiences in the browser, this lead
me to write a Scheme-to-JavaScript compiler that is incomplete but can
do some stuff.

# Chicken

I still did not try Chicken's Spock egg.

# BiwaScheme

This is an interpreter written in JavaScript that doesn't support
tail-call optimization.

repo: https://github.com/amirouche/defunct-forward.scm

# Gambit JavaScript backend

It is still a work in progress. It prolly support tail-call
optimization but requires some work. With the build I tested,
tail-call factorial gives an error.

# Schism

This is the most promising stuff. It is a self-hosted
Scheme-to-WebAssembly compiler. The two things that are missing are
some kind of call/cc support and I don't know how to yield the control
back to JavaScript.

# Chibi Scheme WebAssembly build

It works most of the time on Firefox but it crash on Windows Chrome.

Also, dependency is somewhat big.

# Ruse Scheme

This is my work-in-progress compiler that targets JavaScript and not
WebAssembly.

Thanks!
