You should check out Scheme implementations like Guile and Chicken.

Master, I have heard Scheme is a poor man's Javascript.

Any plan for the Scheme programming language ?

It is a Scheme implementation. At very least many universities do use Scheme.

Can anyone tell me if it's as helpful for Scheme? Thx!

Would Chicken Scheme work ootb to code along with SICP?

The suggestion was to use Scheme or CL.

Don't forget Scheme (Gambit, Chez, Racket).
