In comparison to Common Lisp, which has everything, the kitchen sink,
and also makes great fries (or so I (hear)).

Scheme is a very small Lisp dialect.  Small and beautiful, in my view.
A little gem of a language.

Many Schemers find Common Lisp as bloated and messy by comparison;
many Common Lispers dismiss Scheme as too small to be useful.
