Will it work on top of GNU Guile[1] as well? It became very fast since 3.0 version with the introduction of JIT[2].

It is difficult because there are a lot of minor details that has been added to Chez Scheme or to the patched version of Chez Scheme that is used by Racket.

For example ephemerons, that need some magic to cooperate with the garbage collector. https://cisco.github.io/ChezScheme/csug9.5/smgmt.html#./smgm...
