Statement of interest:

I have been writing Scheme professionally since 2009 when I started working
at a company that was using Bigloo and CHICKEN. For the last three years I
have been working on husk scheme (
https://github.com/justinethier/husk-scheme), a robust implementation of
R5RS written on the Haskell platform. R5RS has allowed me to implement an
elegant, expressive, yet minimal language that has been useful to others as
well as myself. My goal is for husk to eventually support R7RS-small.

I have also contributed bug reports to the mailing list and the R7RS sample
implementation, chibi scheme.

Rationale:

R7RS-small is not a radical leap forward from R5RS, which is OK, but it
provides many welcome additions and a standard way to write Scheme
libraries. My hope is that it will provide a solid foundation for the large
language and will see more widespread adoption than R6RS.
