relax is a scheme distribution geared towards building native peer-to-peer
applications.

zero-cost abstractions
by leveraging macros and the chicken scheme compiler, we can generate very efficient assembly from high-level source code. future improvements to the type system can allow for further optimizations.
actors and lightweight threads
relax programs are very similar to what you would encounter in Erlang/OTP projects.
