Does anyone know how this compares to Chicken scheme? It looks like they both are able to transpile to C and have good FFI support.

On the other hand it seems like a nice environment! It uses cheney on the MTA, which mean free call/cc among some other things.
Other than that? It seems like package managers are finally coming to scheme. Good. Chicken has been the only one with a proper one for quite some time.
Roughly the same speed as chicken means fast enough for most tasks. Probably some orders of magnitude faster than python for things that are actually written in python and not just glue between C function calls.
..transpile to C for speed,
..have an interpreter (REPL) for convenience,
..use *Cheney on the MTA* to support:
....continuations
....1st generation of GC.
