Okay, strange, I wonder why that happens?

A readline, you mean like in C?

But in Lisp we instead have the REPL, and SBCL has that,
of course.

Or you mean something like `read-from-minibuffer'?

Or what do you mean? :)

A lot of schemes you have, why write the same program in
several languages?

"Chicken [...] is a programming language, specifically
a compiler and interpreter which implement a dialect of the
programming language Scheme, and which compiles Scheme source
code to standard C"
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_(Scheme_implementation)>

Dr Racket (or just Racket), a Lisp dialect from 1995 based on
Scheme: "It is designed as a platform for programming language
design and implementation [...] Racket is also used for
scripting, computer science education, and research"
