Heist: a Scheme interpreter written in Ruby
So, one of the new things about Scheme in the late 70s was having TCO in the spec. Strictly speaking, it's not Scheme (though it may be just another lisp1) if tail-recursion isn't baked in.

Another case of scheme in name only. Why does everyone call new lisp-1's scheme instead of lisp-1?
