I almost forgot to reply. There's this group called Spritely Institute that is developing some really cool tools to use with Scheme. iirc two of the institute's members were co-authors of the Fediverse's ActivityPub protocol. Not only have they developed a compiler from Scheme to WebAssembly, but they are also building tools that make it way easier to write programs that network with other computers and are as safe as possible. I read this paper they wrote about it, and their ideas look so cool... I hope you also find it cool.
