I actually have very little experience with Chicken Scheme and I have not tried any larger programs in it. I also do not think detailed error messages are included in it.
For the same simple program, Racket (another Scheme derivative) produces an executable of size 6.2 MB (!), but it can be optimized to 277 KB https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43307580/can-executable-size-be-optimized . (Otherwise, Racket is also a very good language).
I am inclined to compare Euphoria with these Lisp-derived languages since lists (sequences) are key structures in both.
