If you want to use scheme on any platform with JavaScript, check out WeScheme [http://www.wescheme.org] The server uses the Java AppEngine API. Yes, we did run into issues with requests exceeding the AppEngine timeout. At one point (this may still be true) we were able to compile our compiler on AppEngine. Which brings us to Moby-Scheme, the heart of WeScheme! It's a self-hosting (Scheme -> JavaScript) compiler. [https://github.com/dyoo/moby-scheme] WeScheme was written in support of BootStrap [http://www.bootstrapworld.org/] an educational initiative aimed at using computer science as a vehicle for teaching algebra to middle-school students. There is a semi-working structured editor for WeScheme that is a pile of jQuery hooking interactions with content-editable. In retrospect we should have just gone for HTML5. There's also the inkling
