The best one is chicken scheme, which has an option "-analyze-only", used together with geiser, Flycheck can provide various form of checking in Emacs. But chicken compiles scheme into c code which brought some other problems into scope. Flycheck has a similar checker for racket too, but doesn't work quite correctly on my platform and racket has deviated too much from standard scheme language, I want my code could be ported to guile later easily. So I chose chez scheme to get started, which has default setting for portable scheme and gives informative error messages on command line.
