Does this help?

Here's my suggestion:

Scheme 48

Implementation of the Scheme programming language for Unix/Linux and
Windows, with an emphasis on a readable and module implementation.
Scheme 48 is itself almost entirely written in Scheme.  (Even the VM is
written in the Scheme dialect PreScheme.)  Scheme 48 comes with a large
set of libraries and an extensive Foreign Function Interface.
