<p>
This page will list some of the large-scale uses of Scheme, in both
commercial applications and prominent free software.
</p>
<p> The <a href="http://www.gimp.org/">GIMP</a> is an image
manipulation program freely redistributable under the <a
href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GNU Public Licence</a>. It
provides extensive <a
href="http://www.gimp.org/scripts.html">scripting capabilities</a> via
an embedded Scheme interpreter, allowing users to <a
href="http://www.soulfry.com/script-fu/">create images
procedurally</a> from a Scheme program. </p>
<p> The Scheme window manager, <a
href="http://scwm.mit.edu/">scwm</a>, is a window manager for
X-Windows written in Guile. Users can configure Scwm by writing
Scheme code. </p>
<p> GNOME AisleRiot uses Scheme for most of its programming.

<p> The <a href="http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/">
Festival speech synthesis package</a> probably uses Scheme; at
least, that's what its command line interface uses.
