Gambit-C v4.2.8 - A portable implementation of Scheme.pdf
The Gambit programming system is a full implementation of the Scheme language which conforms to the R4RS, R5RS and IEEE Scheme standards. It consists of two main programs: gsi, the Gambit Scheme interpreter, and gsc, the Gambit Scheme compiler.
Gambit-C is a version of the Gambit programming system in which the compiler generates portable C code, making the whole Gambit-C system and the programs compiled with it easily portable to many computer architectures for which a C compiler is available.
With appropriate declarations in the source code the executable programs generated by the compiler run roughly as fast as equivalent C programs.
