Another reason this is interesting beyond "Lispiness" instead: implementing a (compliant) Scheme takes on some interesting problems that other languages punt - proper tail recursion, delimited continuations (off the top of my head, I don't know other methods apart from CPS), and hygienic macros.

Another reason this is interesting beyond "Lispiness" instead: implementing a (compliant) Scheme takes on some interesting problems that other languages punt - proper tail recursion, delimited continuations (off the top of my head, I don't know other methods apart from CPS), and hygienic macros.
Last I checked no compliant Scheme required delimited continuations. Unless something like that was added in R7RS or later.
They don't. They will probably get added in R7RS large. They're available in scheme-rs regardless: https://scheme.rs/Standard%20Libraries/prompts/
