The Larceny Project is a set of computer programming languages, specifically Scheme implementations, using the Twobit optimizing Scheme compiler. Larceny is the back-end which compiles to native x86 or SPARC code, Petit Larceny is a Scheme to C compiler and Common Larceny is a Microsoft .NET compatible implementation running in the Common Language Runtime and generating Common Intermediate Language.

*Larceny is a research-quality implementation of Scheme compiler for the SPARC (available since 1999).
*Petit Larceny is a portable implementation of Scheme compiler that compiles to C instead of SPARC machine code (available since June 2005).
*Common Larceny is an implementation of Scheme compiler that compiles to Microsoft's IL instead of C and runs on Microsoft's CLR (Common Language Runtime) (available since November 2004).

Larceny supports both the R⁵RS Scheme standard and its newly ratified successor, R⁶RS. The Larceny software is open source and available online.
