In 2004 I had already been using Kawa Scheme on the JVM in my day job for 4 years. That's also the year I began OurDoings using the same technology.

There's also SISC, which purports to be a full implementation of R5RS Scheme for the JVM.

Are you also familiar with Clojure? How would you compare the two?

I'm not familiar with Clojure, but as I understand it's a new language. Kawa is R5RS Scheme except it can't capture continuations. Kawa has the advantage of being a fast compiler. SISC is an interpreter, but it is more completely standards-compliant Scheme.
