There were many early Lisps, but the community achieved a consensus in Common Lisp. Meanwhile, Sussman and Steele explored how much could be done with functions and produced Scheme. – The seven programming ur-languages

A guide:

If Scheme were a countryside, it would have its cosmopolitan cities, its hipster dives, its blue-collar factory towns, quaint villages, western movie sets full of façades and no buildings, shacks in the woods, and single-occupancy rent-by-the-hour slums. It’s a confusing and delightful place, but you need a guide. – an opinionated guide to scheme implementations

And introduction:

This is a work-in-progress introduction to the Scheme programming language. Specifically, it’s aimed at the latest version, R⁷RS. – A Short R⁷RS Scheme Tutorial

@m455@tiny.tilde.website mentioned Chicken scheme's ability to build static binaries:

basically all you need to do is do a `csc -o somefile -static somefile.scm` (with optional optimization flags), or for a more complicated approach that has separate files as modules, you need to build the modules as objects first before compiling (unfortunately) – see Makefile in m455.casa

s7 is a scheme that is just a `.c` and a `.h` file that you can compile and use as a standalone interpreter
