Unofficially: R7RS has been ratified.
Congratulations and thanks to all of the working group’s hard, hard work on completing what was by some measures an impossible task.
There will be one more draft to address a few concerns.

Husk is a dialect of Scheme written in Haskell that adheres to the R5RS standard. Advanced R5RS features are provided including continuations, hygienic macros, and a full numeric tower.

The ISLISP programming language is a member of the Lisp family of programming languages. It attempts to bridge the gap between the various incompatible members of the Lisp family of languages (most notably Common Lisp, Eulisp, LeLisp, and Scheme) by focusing on standardizing those areas of widespread agreement. It is a small language, closer to the size of Scheme than to Common Lisp, for example.
The most recent change to the specification occurred in 2007.
The design of ISLISP had these design goals:

• Compatible with existing Lisp dialects where feasible.
• Provide basic functionality.
• Object-oriented.
• Designed with extensibility in mind.
• Gives priority to industrial needs over academic needs.
• Promotes efficient implementations and applications.

John Cowan mentioned it on scheme-reports, so I was curious.

“The Concurrent Schemer” (CSCM) is an implementation of the Scheme programming language built on top of the Erlang Virtual Machine.
