The scheme of things

Abstract

A reader has asked for suggestions on how to write Common Lisp programs so that they can in the future be translated into Scheme without too much difficulty. Someone else wants to write programs in Scheme that might eventually be translated into Common Lisp. These are interesting questions, but a related question is more immediate: How do you write programs in Scheme that can easily be translated to run in other implementations of Scheme?
