Stalin: Brutally Optimizing Scheme Compiler (github.com/barak)

I see that Stalin stands for "STAtic Language ImplementatioN", but you wouldn't call a compiler Hitler out of respect for the more than 10^7 people his regime killed. I see estimates online of 7 million deaths due to Stalin, and I don't think projects should bear his name.
