How Chez Scheme is implemented

In the Language Lineage dataset, Chez Scheme is self-hosting, so its own compiler is written in Chez Scheme itself. Reaching self-hosting, where a language is mature enough to compile itself, is a milestone that proves the language can handle a large, real-world program.
