Yeah, ok well they should be considered. But jscheme is an interpreter
within an interpreter == unnecessarily slow. None of them technically
are Scheme (no call/cc, blurry picture on full tail calls etc). Kawa's
type system makes it rather inconvenient to use Java libraries like
Swing (strings in kawa are not strings in java etc). Neither have built
in a nice CLOS-ish object system which makes life worth living.
Let me put it this way: Is Full-Scheme-Language+CLOS+portable convenient
gui on Windows+Linux too much to ask?
