We are getting there.

Chicken combines an optimising Scheme compiler with a reasonably
fast interpreter.  It supports most of R5RS and the important SRFIs.
The compiler generates highly portable C code and supports tail recursion,
first-class continuations, and lightweight threads.  The interface to and
from C code is easy to use.  The interpreter allows interactive use,
fast prototyping, debugging, and scripting.  Extensive documentation is
supplied.  The active and helpful Chicken community fixes bugs quickly and
has contributed hundreds of Chicken libraries that make the programmer's
task much easier.
