- an object system based on CLOS with multiple inheritance, generic functions, multimethods and a MOP
- a module system
- easy connection with the GTK toolkit
- a low-level macro system that compiles macro expanders into bytecode (syntax-rules is also present as a high-level macro system)
- a full Numerical tower implementation, as defined in R7RS
- Unicode support
- Perl compatible regular expressions via PCRE library
- a simple foreign function interface via libffi
- being compiled as a library and embedded in an application
- native threads, using the libpthread library. The API conforms to SRFI-18
