I restarted my work on (a small) Scheme comparator app at https://scheme.rs/comparator (code at https://sr.ht/~amirouche/scheme.rs/)

Please let me know whether the current grid at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/scheme-comparator (copied below) is good?

Also, please share flag specification for your favorite Scheme implementation(s), preferably in the above etherpad link.

# scheme.rs/comparator

Grid to compare different Scheme implementations.

- https://scheme.rs/comparator/
- https://wingolog.org/archives/2013/01/07/an-opinionated-guide-to-scheme-implementations

Upon what characteristics should the comparison be done?

1. R7RS
2. R6RS
3. TOP5 wall-clock-time (ecraven's benchmarks)
4. C Foreign Function Interface
5. Make binary executable
6. C embedding
7. Dedicated editor or IDE
8. SICP
9. server side webdev
10. browser side webdev
11. Microsoft Windows support
12. LISP Machine

I made progress checkout the links above (it is also much faster to load thanks to http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/5/spock)
