Indiana University certainly uses it for many of its classes. There are
also commercial users of Chez who do not make a lot of noise in the
public circles, and their uses are mostly covered under NDAs, IIUC.
So, it is certainly in active use and development, though this all tends
to be quieter than implementations like Racket.
