> Will the ongoing merger of Chez with Racket make the latter a clear winner in the Scheme camp?

Academically they have all the super giants of Scheme. It is now within the past few years with the renaming to Racket that the success story is just now unfolding after over 20 years of development. I think Racket will end up being the clear leader not just of scheme but of Lisp. Reminds me of when R just took off 5 or 6 years ago.

That would be amazing. I think the issue with Scheme, and in general most Lisps has been excessive fragmentation.
