What is Chibi Scheme?

Chibi-Scheme is a lightweight library for embedding a Scheme-based scripting language within C programs. It supports a virtual machine-based threading model, where each VM instance runs in an isolated heap, enabling concurrent execution across OS threads. The library adheres to the R7RS Scheme standard, providing access to first-class continuations and hygienic macros at both high and low levels
