About Gambit
First released in 1988, Gambit is the third-oldest Scheme implementation still in use. Gambit’s compiler and runtime have continually served as a platform for university research on compiler techniques and concurrent systems, allowing them to be refined over the decades to tackle the complex goal of speed, portability and concurrency in a single system. The result is a practical language implementation that has not abandoned simplicity in the pursuit of performance. A simple design leads to a system that does not only look good in benchmarks but is also pleasant to use.
