BiwaScheme is a Scheme interpreter written in JavaScript.
Works with web browsers (including mobile devices) and Node.js.
see http://www.biwascheme.org/
(Or you can just copy the file from ./release.)
Just load biwascheme.js (or biwascheme-min.js) and write Scheme code.

BiwaScheme implements most of the features of R7RS small, including first-class continuation and tail call optimization.
Major lacking features are:
- syntax-rules
- Exceptions
- Library system
There are two limitations that arise from JavaScript. These will not be fixed (it's technically possible to fix but will be very inefficient).
- Strings are immutable
- Integers are not distinguished from float
