dfsch - my originally toy Scheme implementation launched on April 16, 2012 with 26 votes, #68 of 446 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.
In plain words
dfsch is a Scheme implementation that originated as a personal programming project. It provides a functional programming environment based on the Scheme language specification. The project is designed for developers interested in exploring language implementation and functional programming concepts. As a personal toy project rather than an enterprise solution, dfsch appeals to hobbyists and programmers who want to experiment with Scheme without the complexity of mainstream implementations.
